CONSISTENT POPPING NOISE FROM THE REAR AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THIS ISSUE HAS EFFECT THE OVERALL SAFETY OF ME FAMILY. WHEN DRIVING AT RATE OF SPEED OF ABOUT 40-45MPH THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE MAKING IT VERY HARD TO KEEP CONTROL. MOST RECENTLY WHEN MAKING A TURN I BEGIN TO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 27K MILES AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS UNITED IN 2017. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND STILL TO THIS DAY NO SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. THIS ISSUE IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND I DEMAND THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS VEHICLE NISSIAN REPLACE MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY.

Jul 15, 2026

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."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed September 2, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated Fall 2026. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R26B1 and P6A13/4. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 16, 2026.
