Known issues on the 2013 Frontier. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the wiring and fuses: a circuit breaker installed incorrectly can leave the main wire harness facing outward against a metal bolt on the A-pillar, and the bolt can wear through the harness covering and cause an electrical short that could cause a fire. Owners have filed 48 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that wiring system are here.

Whether you are tracing a harness fault at the A-pillar or working through routine service on either powertrain, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2013 Frontier.
