Known issues on the 2021 TITAN. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers Continental tires that were over-cured in production, which can develop a sidewall break or belt edge separation and cause sudden air loss or tread loss. The second covers the front turn signal bulbs, which can crack and fail to illuminate, leaving on-coming drivers and pedestrians without warning of a turn. Two recalls cover the automatic transmission parking pawl, which may not engage when the vehicle is shifted into park, allowing a vehicle rollaway. The fifth covers the air bag control unit, which may be missing a spacer that lets the mounting fastener loosen, delaying or preventing air bag deployment in a crash. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for this model year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a parking-pawl inspection to a turn-signal bulb replacement or a full driveline service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 TITAN.
