Known issues on the 2020 Frontier. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, both involving the automatic transmission: the parking pawl may not engage when the vehicle is shifted into park, allowing the truck to roll away and increasing the risk of a crash. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the transmission and parking system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the parking pawl engagement or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2020 Frontier.
