Nissan bulletin PC984 2023 Front

What it saysTransfer Case Range Sensor Voluntary Service Campaign *****Dealer Announcement***** Nissan is conducting a service campaign on certain specific MY2023 Nissan Frontier and Titan vehicles identified in Service Comm… NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Nissan filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 15, 2023, received Oct 6, 2023, about the power train. It names 2 model years (2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What the bulletin says

Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communication
What the dealer does Dealers will remedy the vehicle by replacing the transfer case range sensor. *****What Dealers Should Do***** 1.
Cost to the owner If a retailed vehicle affected by this Campaign ID visits the dealer for service, the dealer should inform the customer about the service campaign and communicate that the transfer case range sensor will be replaced…

Picked out of NHTSA’s summary below, word for word. The document itself is the record, and the dealer checks the VIN.

2023 Nissan Frontier 9 Mar 2023 – 19 May 2023 “Manufactured from March 9, 2023 to May 19, 2023”
2023 Nissan Titan 14 Mar 2023 – 11 Jul 2023 “Manufactured from March 14, 2023 to July 11, 2023”

What it applies to, as the document itself states it — the build window in the manufacturer’s own words, read by machine from the PDF NHTSA serves. The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.

Transfer Case Range Sensor Voluntary Service Campaign *****Dealer Announcement***** Nissan is conducting a service campaign on certain specific MY2023 Nissan Frontier and Titan vehicles identified in Service Comm and National Service History – Open Campaigns. Due to a manufacturing concern that has since been corrected, the 4WD system on affected vehicles may malfunction resulting in disablement of the 4WD system and owners may notice warning messages and lamps illuminated of ATP, 4WD, ABS, VDC, AEB, RAB and others. Dealers will remedy the vehicle by replacing the transfer case range sensor. *****What Dealers Should Do***** 1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this service campaign using Service Comm or DBS National Service History – Open Campaigns I.D. PC984 • New vehicles in dealer inventory can also be identified using DBS (Sales-> Vehicle Inventory, and filter by Open Campaign).  Refer to NPSB 15-460 for additional information • Please continue to check newly arriving inventory for campaign applicability. 2. If a retailed vehicle affected by this Campaign ID visits the dealer for service, the dealer should inform the customer about the service campaign and communicate that the transfer case range sensor will be replaced free of charge. 3. Once remedied, dealers should submit the applicable warranty claim for the action performed so it can be closed in Service Comm and release the vehicle to the customer.

Read by machine from the document NHTSA serves (3 pages), read Sep 30, 2026. A part number is shown only where it matches Nissan’s own catalogue shape, an operation only with its code and time, and a description only where the reader got it whole; anything it could not settle is left out, and the PDF is the record. Times are the manufacturer’s warranty allowances, not a quote. Listings and prices on eBay Motors are the seller’s.

Affiliate disclosure: some links on this page are affiliate links. If you request a quote or buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Nothing on this page changes because of it.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Owners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 83 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 23 of them name Power Train — 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.

On July 15 2024 my 2023 Nissan Frontier died while running. I had stopped briefly and the entire engine completely died. I attempted to re-stared the truck multiple times. Once the tow truck driver got there he jump started my vehicle which resulted in it finally turning on.

2023 Nissan Frontier · Power Train · filed with NHTSA Jul 17, 2024 · ODI 11602838

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Nissan PC984 2023 Front 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 PC984 2023 Front 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 PC984 2023 Front cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2023 Nissan Frontier, 2023 Nissan Titan. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: 2023 Nissan Frontier: built 9 Mar 2023 – 19 May 2023; 2023 Nissan Titan: built 14 Mar 2023 – 11 Jul 2023 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
