WENT TO START CAR AFTER IT WAS SITTING OVER NIGHT (AND TEMPERATURE HAD DROPPED) AND IT WOULD NOT START, REQUIRING A JUMP. NOTHING WAS LEFT ON OVERNIGHT. CAR REQUIRED JUMP START TWO MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TAKE TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY AND BATTERY WAS EXCHANGED. THREE WEEKS LATER, AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS AT 5AM ON WAY TO WORK, CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AGAIN NOTHING HAS BEEN LEFT ON. CAR IS CURRENTLY DEAD IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS A 2019! ALSO, THE DOOR COVERING MY GAS CAP NO LONGER OPENS, REQUIRING IT TO BE PRIED OPEN.

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.

Sep 12, 2019

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
