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.

Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R26B1 and P6A13/4.

Check engine light and collision lights come on at start of vehicle due to the wiring harness issue. The throttle body and EMC have been replaced. This is a huge safety concern as it effects the engine and the operation of the vehicle. The problem continues even after the dealer has confirmed and reproduced the issue.

Battery drain happens and vehicle Will be hard to start or not start at all. New battery was installed and 4 months later, same issue. It has been taken into dealership multiple times and they can never recreate the issue and have found nothing wrong with the vehicle to repair. This has caused wife and kids to be stranded because vehicle won’t start. No warning lights, nothing that the dealership found to cause issue.

Vehicle Speed Control
Filed Aug 24, 2025TN

The vehicle radiator fan clutch engaged all the time and slowed acceleration responsiveness. This could cause safety issues when the vehicle responds to gas differently. This seemed to be a common component that goes out on Armada.

The battery in our car has repeatedly drained for no reason. There seems to be an issue with the battery not charging the alternator correctly. At times this causes electrical components to go out.

2022 Nissan Armada AWD battery is being drained for no apparent reason and system check does not reveal anything. Replaced original battery of just over two years and the new battery was drained within six months. Have seen where there are class action lawsuits for years 2019-2021, but nothing on the 2022 vehicle.

The car in front of me stopped short and neither the Collision Warning or Emergency Braking activated or alerted at all, making no attempt to stop the vehicle, resulting in a collision.

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD, INFOTAINMENT, AND CLIMATE CONTROLS GO BLANK, THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. TODAY, EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP BUZZING, HAD TO PULL OVER TO TURN OFF CAR, OPEN DOOR AND RE START. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING, AND DANGEROUS. THIS GIVES NO WARNING AT ALL, IT JUST HAPPENS. BEEN TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES NOW, ON OUR WAY FOR 7. TWO TIMES WE WERE AT THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL MANUFACTURER PUTS OUT A SOFTWARE NEW UPDATE, THE CHANGED ENTIRE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, USB PORTS ETC, THE PROBLEM HAS SEEMED TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE.

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.
