Other engine problem on the 2016 Nissan Titan XD
2 fires 2 of the 83 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other engine problem gets reported
Owners of the 2016 Nissan Titan XD report other engine problem at a median of 25,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 2,400 miles and a quarter after 75,000 miles, from 18 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 95,000 miles. It is the 1st most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 600 miles at the tenth percentile to 100,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 99,488 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
61% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 621 miles | 2,350 miles | 23,700 miles | 77,040 miles | 100,109 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 2 a fire is mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $300–$4,000 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
Cummins 5.0 liter engine missing out at 1700 rpms, you can rev the diesel engine to 1700 rpms and then all of sudden the unit starts missing out. But yet a cummins engineer stated that some of them do it, and some don't. Well being a cummins tech my self I knew this was not true. Nissan refuses to send the truck to an actual cummins dealer to have it properly checked out. So u took it to cross point cummins dealership here in indiana their diagnosis the EGR flap is sticking on the casting and causing lose of power , with excessive regeneration due unit only has 800 miles on it. I have video of the issues!
The truck is leaking diesel fumes into the passenger compartment. The smell is more noticeable during a regen. The odor and fumes can become very intoxicating if stopped in traffic to the point you would need to roll the windows down or exit the vehicle for a break.
Little to no throttle response 3-5 second delay. Speed from 15-35 transmission issue as well. Call nissan they stated they have known about this but have no fix. I fell this is a huge safety issue! No acceleration when need?

What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
