A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standard

Is P0174 a known problem on Nissan vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 65 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0174 on 36 Nissan model years (2016–2021). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Nissan models does P0174 appear on most?

2018 NV (5 documents), 2017 NV (5 documents), 2021 NV (4 documents).

Does P0174 on a Nissan mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
