What's wrong, in plain English

Nissan is recalling certain Nissan Armada and INFINITI QX80 vehicles built with V8 engines. A part inside the fuel pump, the impeller, can swell and jam inside the pump housing. When that happens the fuel pump stops working, so the engine can no longer be supplied with fuel and can shut off while the vehicle is being driven.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included. 2. Contact a dealer to have the fuel pump module replaced — Nissan owners can call 1-800-867-7669 (recall R21A2) and INFINITI owners 1-800-662-6200 (recall R21A3). 3. The repair is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V373000.
