ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Nissan Titan?
A 3-star rollover rating is the most significant safety consideration for the 2024 Nissan Titan Crew Cab 4WD. This rating, coupled with a 23 percent rollover risk, identifies a clear limitation in its crash-test profile for a body-on-frame truck. Frontal and side impact protection remain competitive, contributing to a strong overall Safety Index of 85 out of 100, an incremental increase from the 2023 model's 84. The vehicle's crash protection component of the index scores 57 out of a possible 70 points. The 2024 Titan Crew Cab 4WD earns a full 10 out of 10 points for avoidance technology, reflecting the standard inclusion of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. Its defect record contributes 18 out of 20 points to the Safety Index. This score is influenced by two recall campaigns specific to the 2024 model year. Both recalls address air bag hardware: one targets a potentially incomplete Air Bag Control Unit assembly in select 2021 and 2024 Titans, and the other is a broader campaign for the driver-side frontal inflator module across several 2024 Nissan and Infiniti models. Air bag system recalls warrant particular attention, as these components are critical for occupant protection in a collision.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Nissan Titan perform in crash tests?
The 2024 Titan Crew Cab 4WD achieved a strong 5 out of 5 stars in NHTSA's side-impact crash test. Its overall rating is 4 out of 5 stars, with frontal protection also earning 4 stars. The rollover assessment presents the weakest result at 3 out of 5 stars, reflecting a 23 percent rollover risk. However, dynamic tip testing for this model returned a No Tip result.
