Nissan Recalls 13K Frontiers

It's not just Ford that has a recall involving pickup trucks today. Nissan is recalling more than 13,000 Frontiers.

Nissan is recalling 13,719 model year 2025 Frontier vehicles because a software logic error may cause the daytime running lights to dim when the idle start-stop system restarts the engine. This does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. Dealers will update the engine control module software at no cost. Notification letters are expected to be sent September 17, 2025. Recall number R25C3.

What would we do without government telling us how bright our DRLs have to be at all times?!??! This recall ranks right up there with the one on the VW ID Buzz for the third row seat that 'could' fit 3 but is only designed for 2.

  If DRLs were as bright as searchlights - or functioned as colored strobe lights - you'd want some regulation of that. Similarly, if the mfr says they shine with so many lumens, but are actually weaker, then the mfr hasn't given you what they promised.
  That's why the government has rules for lights.

Software glitches will be the death of us all.

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
