DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 421 IN WILKESBORO, NC ON A 45 MPH SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY, MERGED OVER INTO THE TURNING LANE TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. WAITED FOR A BREAK IN TRAFFIC, UPON A BREAK IN TRAFFIC TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO CROSS TRAFFIC, AS VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT STALLED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. WIFE AND CHILDREN IN CAR STARTED SCREAMING. TRAFFIC NICE ENOUGH NOT TO RUN INTO US. HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP. FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 5.6 LITTER NISSAN/ INFINITI ENGINE. ONE OF THE TIMING GEARS FOR THE LEFT BANK STOPPED ROTATING SOME HOW. THIS SIDE OF THE ENGINE TIMING SYSTEM ALSO POWERS THE FUEL PUMP SO THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN LIMP ACROSS THE ROAD ON HALF THE ENGINE. IT JUST STOPS RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. YOU HAVE NO STEERING NO BREAKING AND NO PROPULSION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN AND LACK OF QUALITY OF THE ENGINE.
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.

The fuel pressure sensors may not have been sufficiently tightened during production. As a result, the fuel pressure sensor may loosen with vehicle usage and cause a fuel leak.
Consequence & remedy

In the affected vehicles, the driver's frontal air bag inflator may have been manufactured with an incorrect part.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's air bag, the incorrect part may block the flow of propellant to the air bag and the air bag's inflator may rupture. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike and potentially seriously injure the vehicle occupants.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driver air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2014. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
