Nissan to recall about 168,000 US vehicles over incorrect weight rating labels

(Reuters) – Nissan is recalling 168,149 vehicles ​in the U.S., ‌as the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) ​listed on the ​certification label is incorrect, ⁠which can ​allow the vehicle ​to be overloaded, the National Highway Traffic Safety ​Administration (NHTSA) said ​on Tuesday.

The recall affects certain ‌Nissan ⁠Armada, Infiniti QX56, and QX80 vehicles, the regulator ​said.

Dealers will ​install ⁠new labels free of ​charge, and Nissan ​will ⁠mail replacement labels to owners, ⁠NHTSA ​said.
