## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2016 Frontier V6 vehicles manufactured February 29, 2016, to March 7, 2016.  The starter motor wire harness may have been installed in an incorrect position, allowing the starter harness terminal to contact the heat shield and result in an electrical short.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reposition the starter wire harness, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on April 13, 2016.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-647\-7261.
