Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80: wrong weight rating label
Affected vehicles
What's wrong, in plain English
The sticker on the door frame lists how much weight each axle can safely carry. On these vehicles with 22-inch wheels, that number is printed too high. If you load up to what the label says, you could actually be carrying more than the tires and wheels are built to handle. Nissan will install a corrected label free of charge and is also mailing replacement labels to owners. Nothing mechanical is wrong with the vehicle itself.
How serious is it?
This is a paperwork and labeling problem rather than a broken part, and the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, but going by the wrong weight limit could overload the vehicle and lead to a crash.
What you should do
2. Watch for the replacement label Nissan is mailing, or ask your dealer about recall R26B1 / P6A13-4 to have a new label installed free.
3. Until the label is corrected, avoid loading the vehicle to its posted limit; questions go to Nissan at 1-800-867-7669.
