Known issues on the 2006 Frontier. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. The front and rear lower control link collars can carry improperly welded joints that separate and degrade handling, risking a crash. The IPDM's ECM relay can develop silicon oxide on its contacts, which can cause the engine to stall. Deformed molded fuel tank shells can let the sender float arm hang up and read a false quarter tank when the tank is actually empty, risking a stall in traffic. On vehicles fitted with the recalled Tradesonic replacement combination lamps, missing amber side reflectors reduce visibility to other drivers. On King Cab trucks, a severe side impact can stretch the fuel filler cap tether and unscrew the cap, risking a fuel spill near an ignition source. Front air bags on trucks in heavy road-salt states can fail to deploy in a crash if snow, water, and salt reach the front crash zone sensor housing. And vehicles fitted with certain aftermarket Hopkins trailer brake control harnesses can misroute wiring so the trailer brakes don't apply when the tow vehicle's brakes are pressed. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a front suspension inspection to chasing a stall condition or verifying trailer brake wiring, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2006 Frontier.
