2016–2027 Infiniti and Nissan: equipment recall
An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
What was reported
Source: manufacturer filing, 49 CFR Part 573Reported to NHTSA Jul 15, 2026 by Nissan North America, Inc.
What that means, in plain English
Source: WhichTrim's reading of the filing above — not NHTSA's wordingThe defect is an incorrect label showing wrong GAWR values; the remedy is replacing the label, and the actual vehicle hardware is unaffected — this is a paperwork/placard compliance issue with no direct mechanical failure path.
Written for us by a language model from the manufacturer's filed text, which is quoted in full above. Where the two differ, the filing is the record and this is only our summary of it.
The fix, from the dealer bulletin
Source: NHTSA remedy instructions and dealer noticeThe remedy, in the manufacturer’s words: INFINITI will mail the corrected, non-VIN specific labels directly to affected owners, along with.
Labour, as the warranty table lists it
- 0.2 h · op P6A130
The operation code and time the manufacturer pays the dealer; a customer-pay estimate elsewhere is a different number.
The advisory, as filed: “Q: Is this a Stop Sale?.”
Read from NHTSA’s copy of the manufacturer’s dealer documents (manufacturer campaign R26B1/2, P6A13/4). The procedure itself is in the bulletin; a franchised dealer has the current copy on the manufacturer’s portal, and that copy governs. Working a lot or a fleet? Recall Watch carries this line on every VIN it checks: remedy status, hours, stop-sale.
Which vehicles are covered

Check one specific vehicle
A recall applies to a build range, so year, make and model cannot settle it. Type the VIN and the WhichTrim recall report checks this campaign’s build window and engine against it.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573Is R26B1/2, P6A13/4 the same recall as 26V455000?
Yes. R26B1/2, P6A13/4 is the number Nissan North America, Inc uses for this campaign in its own paperwork and in the letter it sends owners. 26V455000 is the number NHTSA files it under. One recall, two references — dealers and service departments generally quote the manufacturer's.
Does this recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.
How do I know whether my vehicle is included?
By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built Feb 22, 2019 to Mar 26, 2026. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.
What if the repair is not available yet?
It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. This campaign was filed without a repair available — Nissan North America, Inc says so in the text above, and expected one by Fall 2026.
What did the manufacturer say was wrong?
The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.
Who started this recall?
NHTSA's record credits the manufacturer. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
