2025 Nissan Armada recalls

Recall 26V-455: Equipment

Reported Jul 15, 2026 · 168,149 vehicles affected · Nissan North America, Inc.

Problem: 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."

Risk: An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: 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.

Recall 25V-821: Back Over Prevention

Reported Nov 26, 2025 · 64,085 vehicles affected · Nissan North America, Inc.

Problem: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, 2025-2026 Armada, and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. A software error may occur in the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: The IVI system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 2, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25D6, R25D5, and R25D7.

Recent 2025 Nissan Armada complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Service Brakes · reported Nov 10, 2026
Sometimes—especially right after starting—the brakes feel spongy and unresponsive. Also, when slowing to low speeds, the vehicle has started jerking, as if it can’t downshift properly. It feels like it stays in a higher gear at low speeds, causing it to jerk and almost stall. This could be particularly worrisome in busy parking lots.
Steering · reported Nov 8, 2026
I have concerns regarding the safety and overall condition of the ball joint, particularly the upper control arm ball joint dust boot, along with the noticeable rust on the retaining nut and cotter pin. Given the visible corrosion and condition of these components, I believe a thorough inspection is necessary to determine whether the ball joint, dust boot, and associated hardware are compromised. This is a potential safety concern that should not be overlooked and should be properly evaluated to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate.

Soon after the seat button was released, the seat resumed folding with the [XXX] still seated in the car seat. The contact held the button down continuously to keep the seat from collapsing. The contact stated that the failure posed an…
