Transport Canada lists: Frontier 2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a V6 engine, the starter motor wiring harness may have been installed in an incorrect position. This could cause the wiring harness to come in contact with the starter heat shield resulting in an electrical short, which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and reposition the wiring harness as necessary.
