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.

Owners’ own words, scrubbed of anything identifying. Unverified reports filed with NHTSA — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

What P17F0 means

Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-II

P17F0 is a manufacturer-specific code: the second character is a 1, which under the OBD-II standard hands the definition to whoever built the vehicle. The same code can mean one thing on a Ford and something unrelated on a Hyundai. Any site that prints a single definition for it is guessing.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Nissan and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standard

Is P17F0 a known problem on Nissan vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 488 manufacturer filings and 12 owner reports naming P17F0 on 58 Nissan model years (2016–2023). 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 P17F0 appear on most?

2016 Altima (42 documents), 2017 Altima (33 documents), 2016 Maxima (22 documents).

Does P17F0 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.
