What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 1 model year this bulletin names have filed 112 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 31 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance system suddenly activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop although no other vehicles or objects were nearby.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Nissan NTB23-059 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the NTB23-059 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does NTB23-059 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2022 Nissan Frontier. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
