This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.
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."
Remedy Status
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. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 12, 2025.
Brand‑new 2026 Nissan Armada suffered catastrophic engine failure at under 5,000 miles. Fault codes P21A1, P0019, P0326, and P219C were identified by an ASE Master Technician. Technician warned of internal mechanical failure and a risk of fire or explosion. Vehicle became undriveable and was towed to the dealership. Technician instructed that the engine should not be started due to safety risk.
The windshield is covered in hundreds of microscopic, pen-sized indentations that refract light like diamonds when hit by the sun or a flashlight. This creates a dangerous "white-out" effect, blinding the driver and making the vehicle unsafe to operate during the day.This is not a single impact from a road projectile; it is a systemic failure of the glass surface to withstand basic atmospheric conditions (sand and dust). A vehicle designed for "travel" must have glass capable of withstanding the friction of air and dust. If everyday travel causes the glass to disintegrate into a "glitter" field, the glass is defective. Filing an insurance claim to install the same defective OEM glass does not solve the problem. I am requesting that Nissan replaces this windshield with a properly tempered unit that meets safety and durability standards. The dealership has seen the "diamond" effect under a flashlight and acknowledged how severe it is. It’s hard to get good pictures of a windshield but after taking it to the dealership for them to send pictures to the executive company, they should have good pictures uploaded, but here’s what I have
