Nissan Recalls 168,000 U.S. SUVs Over Incorrect Weight Rating Labels
Nissan is recalling approximately 168,000 of its large SUVs in the United States due to incorrect weight rating labels, a defect that could lead to vehicle overloading. The recall was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Tuesday.
Recall Details
The safety recall affects 168,149 vehicles across three model lines, as detailed in the NHTSA report. The specific models involved are certain Nissan Armada, Infiniti QX56, and Infiniti QX80 vehicles.
The issue stems from an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) printed on the vehicle's certification label. According to the federal regulator, this error could cause owners to unknowingly overload their vehicles, which can affect handling and braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
AdCorrective Action for Owners
To remedy the issue, Nissan will provide corrected labels to owners free of charge. The NHTSA notice states that authorized dealers will install new certification labels on the affected vehicles.
In addition, Nissan will mail replacement labels directly to owners. The recall process is being managed under NHTSA guidelines to ensure compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards.
