Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020-2026 Nissan Armada, 2011-2013 Infiniti QX56, and 2014-2027 QX80 vehicles equipped with 22" wheels. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the certification label is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Risk. An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will install new labels, free of charge. Additionally, Nissan will mail replacement labels to owners.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Filed Sep 3, 2026AZ

I am reporting a potential fuel/fire safety defect involving TWO brand-new 2027 Infiniti QX80s. My first QX80 developed a strong raw-gasoline odor after driving/shutdown, especially when parked in my residential garage. I repeatedly reported this to Infiniti. Various explanations were given, including Arizona heat and gasoline formulation. The dealer ultimately exchanged the vehicle. The replacement 2027 QX80 developed substantially the SAME gasoline odor after only about 12 miles from the dealership to my home. I returned it for evaluation. On XXX, Infiniti on Camelback inspected the replacement vehicle. This is no longer based solely on my observation. Their final repair order documents my complaint of “fuel smell coming from the rear driver side wheel area” and, importantly, states their inspector “had a fuel smell at the time of check in and in the shop while sitting in the shop.” The dealer found no codes or visible fuel leak. Therefore, an Infiniti dealer independently detected and documented the fuel odor. Afterward, I spoke with Service Director [XXX]. He told me he had discussed this same issue/condition with an Infiniti field engineer and that Infiniti was aware of it. My understanding was that he was not aware of a specific repair, corrective procedure, or available fix at this time. I am extremely concerned because the same condition occurred in TWO new QX80s, the dealer confirmed the fuel odor, Infiniti field engineering is reportedly aware, yet no cause or fix h

Fuel/Propulsion System
Filed Aug 31, 2026AZ

I purchased a new 2027 Infiniti QX80 Autograph, VIN [XXX], from Infiniti of [XXX] on XXX with approximately 10 miles. On XXX, the day after purchase, I contacted the dealer because I noticed a strong raw gasoline/fuel-vapor odor after driving the vehicle, shutting it off, and parking it inside my garage. The dealer initially advised me to wait 4-5 days because the vehicle was new and suggested the odor might resolve. The odor persisted. The vehicle had approximately 300 miles when the problem continued. I returned to the dealer and was advised that the fuel tank and/or EVAP canister might need replacement and that parts could take weeks, with no definite repair timeline. The suspected affected system is the fuel/EVAP system, including the fuel tank, EVAP canister, vapor-control system, fuel-system venting, or related components. The exact cause is UNKNOWN. The vehicle was available for dealer inspection. I am concerned because a strong raw gasoline/fuel-vapor odor in an enclosed residential garage may indicate abnormal fuel-vapor release and could create a potential fire hazard and expose occupants to fuel vapors. No warning lights or dashboard messages appeared. The primary symptom was the strong gasoline odor after normal driving and shutdown. Because of this unresolved safety concern, the dealer ultimately replaced this vehicle with another new 2027 QX80. The replacement vehicle later developed the same strong gasoline/fuel-vapor odor. I am concerned this may represent a b

I am filing this complaint regarding my replacement 2027 Infiniti QX80 Autograph, VIN [XXX]. My original new 2027 QX80 developed a strong raw gasoline/fuel-vapor odor shortly after purchase. I reported it to Infiniti of Scottsdale on XXX, one day after purchase. The dealer initially advised me to wait 4-5 days because the vehicle was new. The odor persisted, and the dealer later advised that the fuel tank and/or EVAP canister might need replacement. I filed NHTSA Case No. XXXfor that first vehicle. Infiniti of Scottsdale provided this replacement QX80 on XXX. Within one day, the replacement vehicle developed the same strong raw gasoline/fuel-vapor odor, especially after driving, shutting the vehicle off, and parking it inside my garage. I returned the replacement vehicle to the dealer on XXX because of the same condition. The suspected affected system is the fuel/EVAP system, including the fuel tank, EVAP canister, vapor-control system, or related components. The exact cause in the replacement vehicle is UNKNOWN. The vehicle is available for inspection through the dealership. I am concerned that strong gasoline vapors in an enclosed garage could present a potential fire hazard and expose occupants to fuel vapors. No warning lights or dashboard messages appeared. The primary symptom was the strong raw gasoline/fuel-vapor odor. The same condition occurring in two separate brand-new 2027 QX80 vehicles raises concern that this may be a broader fuel/EVAP system safety defect rathe

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
