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?

 

I have one solution to fix everyone’s issues with there emission failures:

 

Hello, Has the PDF128 recall helped anyone with a 2016 Nissan Titan XD with roughly 65k miles? Took the truck in because I got a reduced engine power warning light for a second time. The Nissan dealership fixed the egr sensor and tank after the first light. The light came back on in under 100 miles. I took the truck back in. Today, they called me they stated that they had done the recall that I originally declined after reading this forum and understanding that the recall was optional and mainly geared towards California. I did not agree to the recall. What should I do? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jim

 

Well……unfortunately I don’t think there is much you can do if the recall is already done by the dealership. You really only have three options:
1) sell the truck
2) delete
3) drive the truck with the recall and wait for the failure to occur (it will happen)
And, this is why I have an OBDII lock on my truck. The dealership can’t do anything to my ECU unless I unlock the OBDII port under the dash for them to hook up there Consult III. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but from what I have seen and read, those who have done the recall either have issues with the emission system shortly after getting it done, or a few people have had total engine failure.
