Known issues on the 2017 Frontier. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering trucks built with a mechanical key ignition system: over time, weight on the key ring combined with road jarring can knock the ignition switch out of the run position and into accessory, stalling the engine and increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 38 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that ignition system are here.
Whether you're chasing an intermittent stall from the key-ring issue or working through a routine service interval on the VQ40DE or QR25DE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2017 Frontier.
