SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY BURST WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY OBJECTS THAT HIT THE SUNROOF. THE GLASS LOOKED AS THOUGH IT SHATTERED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. FORTUNATELY, THE SUNROOF COVER WAS CLOSED, OTHERWISE SHARDS OF GLASS WOULD'VE ENDED UP ALL OVER DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. INFINITI DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR. DEALERSHIP STATED THIS WAS A RARE THING, BUT UPON MENTIONING SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ONLINE, DEALERSHIP STATED ,' WE SEE ABOUT 1 A MONTH'.

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. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 16, 2026.
