2013 Nissan Navara Pedal Pads — Purpose, Service and Replacement
Technical sources confirm the 2013 Nissan Navara is fitted with pedal pads. The Nissan Navara D40 series service manual (Brake and Clutch sections, 2010–2014) specifies inspection of the brake and clutch pedal rubbers for wear, and the Nissan Electronic Parts Catalog (FAST) lists “Pad—Pedal” items for the brake (all transmissions) and clutch (manual models). Vehicle inspection guidance used in AU/NZ also expects a non‑slip surface on the service brake pedal. So yes—Navara owners will find a rubber pedal pad on the brake pedal, and on the clutch if it’s a manual. The accelerator typically uses an integrated treaded face rather than a slip‑on rubber pad.
On a 2013 Navara, the pedal pad’s job is simple but critical: provide a grippy, non‑slip contact patch so boots don’t slide off in the wet, in mud, or on corrugated tracks. That grippy face helps keep pedal feel consistent and braking effort predictable, which is why it’s called out in factory service checks and picked up during roadworthy/WOF inspections.
Because these utes often live on worksites and rural roads, the rubber can harden, glaze, or crack sooner than in city cars. It’s smart to have the pads checked at every service. Replace them if they’re smooth and shiny, split, or starting to peel away from the metal pedal.
- Tell‑tale signs: reduced grip, visible cracks, missing chunks, or a pad that can twist on the pedal.
- Care tips: rinse off mud and grit, avoid harsh solvents, and make sure floor mats aren’t fouling the pedal face.
When replacement’s due, it’s a quick, low‑cost fix that restores feel and safety. For the Navara, genuine or quality aftermarket pads are available, match to VIN to cover D22 vs D40 and transmission type.
- Clean the pedal face and dry it.
- Work the old pad off from one edge.
- Warm the new pad slightly (room temp), align the lip, and press it evenly over the pedal plate until fully seated.
- Verify full contact and check pedal operation and free play as per the service manual.
Workshops will often include this in routine servicing—if a pad is smooth or perished, they’ll swap it on the spot. It’s a small piece that makes a big difference to safety and compliance, especially for autos where the single brake pad is the main non‑slip surface, and for manuals where both brake and clutch need good bite.
Popular questions about 2013 Nissan Navara pedal pads
Does an automatic 2013 Navara have pedal pads?
Yes. Autos have a rubber brake pedal pad. The accelerator usually has an integrated treaded face, not a slip‑on rubber. Manual models add a separate rubber clutch pedal pad as well.
How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no set kilometre interval. Replace them whenever they’re hard, smooth, cracked, or loose. Have them inspected at every service—heaps of off‑road or muddy site use can speed up wear and may trigger a WOF/roadworthy fail if the surface is too slippery.
Can the pedal pads be replaced at home?
Absolutely. It’s a straightforward DIY job with minimal tools. Fit the pad fully over the pedal plate, make sure it’s seated all around, then test pedal feel in a safe area. If in doubt, a workshop can supply and fit genuine‑spec parts quickly.
