I did the recall not knowing any better since this is my first diesel. Truck was running great beforehand no def system issues until I did this recall. They tried telling me after the recall it was my DPF filter or EGR and the fix would have been expensive. Decided to go to a diesel mechanic and they ran a test and found a miscommunication with NOx sensor. Fixed it and had no issues for a week and now back to def system error intermittently with check engine light. Went back to dealer to express that I believe the recall is to blame. They do a check and p2002 code comes up and they talk to their tech line who said the campaign repair noticed a concern with the recall before the sensor was added and logic to figure out why it was happening. Contacted Nissan and they said it’s just a “coincidence “ and will not compensate

I just took in my XD yesterday for a P226C turbo code relating to an extended warranty. They asked if they could perform an emissions update to the ECM (ECM only). I assumed this was the earlier PC731 campaign relating to turbo actuator usage to keep it freed up. Service manager agreed thats what it was, so I didnt look up the campaign number before signing the sheet. I got a call this morning now that after the ECM flash, the SCM is broken and some part needed replaced, all covered under the recall. I said Ok, then had a look online and found this thread. The dealer is now claiming that they dont find P226C anywhere in the vehicles code history, even though I have a photo of it on the scanner on the way into the dealership. Whats more, they now only see a P225C, which requires Nox bank1 sens1 replacement, which they have to do before moving on to diagnose the P226C. Convienient. I think they flashed the ECM in the wrong order and are in CYA mode since I called and said I do not under any circumstances what this PD128/PD129 recall. Im going to pickup the truck this afternoon and never go back to a dealer unless Im watching what they do from a waiting room.

I had the recall done the next day my check engine light came on. Took it back to nissan and the said my dpf was fully clogged and would be $7995 to replace. Asked if it had something to do with the recall and they said it was possible but also said there was nothing they coulmd do

When I went, the service manager informed me the new sensors are not compatible with the DPF system cause the sensor believes the part is inefficient. Also their own tech line mentioned they found out about this issue after doing the recalls and the only fix is a whole new part which you would think is related to the recall since recalls are suppose to make the vehicle better not worse. Nissan customer affairs tried to tell me that it is just a coincidence and they will not fix the issue or compensate for the repair. I filed a complaint with the NHTSA since I have proof Nissan knows the recall causes issues but is telling owners that it is not due to the recall.

Will you share the outcome of your NHTSA complaint with us?

yes it’s still in the review process

Update. My engine has just been ruled out of service. Had a crankshaft sensor go and when had new one installed there was a large knocking from the engine and recommended a new engine. All my issues have stemmed after this recall was performed.
