The defect
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014 Infiniti QX80 vehicles manufactured December 2, 2013, through January 27, 2014, and equipped with 20 inch wheels.

As such, the vehicles do not comply with Part 567 "Certification Regulation."
The risk
An incorrect GAWR listing may result in the vehicle being overloaded which may increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and will mail owners a corrected Certification label, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2014. Owners may contact Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 14V129000.
