Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Nissan Titan represents a notable inflection point in the model’s federal record, particularly when viewed against the broader generation. Complaints for the 2023 model year (11 as of the data) are significantly lower than the 2017 launch spike (172) and align with the post-2018 stabilization trend, where annual complaints ranged from 21 to 90. Recalls (3 in 2023) remain consistent with the 2017–2020 average (3–5 per year), suggesting no unusual quality control deviations. The top complaint areas—primarily power train and engine—mirror long-standing patterns, though their volume is minimal compared to earlier years. With no fire-related complaints and only three crash-related reports, the 2023 data implies a matured product cycle with fewer emergent issues. This positions the 2023 Titan as a relatively low-risk used purchase within its generation.
