What's wrong?
The affected part is the Part 567 certification label on 2012 Nissan Titan and Armada vehicles. This factory label lists required vehicle information, including rim size, so an owner, tire shop, or Nissan dealer can match replacement wheels and tires to the vehicle's certified equipment.
On the recalled vehicles, the label was printed without the rim size information. The issue is the missing label data, not a stated defect in the wheel itself. Because the rim size is absent from the certification label, the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110 for tire selection and rims.
There is no warning sign before failure. For this recall, what you can notice is the label problem itself: the certification label does not show the rim size information it is supposed to include.
Who's affected?
Covers Titan pickups and Armada SUVs with the same vehicle label (placard or certification) issue.
| 2012 Nissan Titan | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2012 Nissan Armada | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 26,626 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
A missing rim size on the certification label can lead to the wrong tire and wheel combination, which increases the likelihood of a crash. Use the VIN check before relying on the label for tire or wheel changes, and have the corrected label installed. Repair will be free at any franchised Nissan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012 Nissan Titan or Armada is included in this recall.
- Look for the Nissan owner letter mailed May 28, 2012, or contact Nissan at 1-615-725-1000 if you never received it.
- Schedule free installation of the corrected certification label at a franchised Nissan dealer, or follow Nissan's instructions to install the new label yourself.
- Reference recall number 12V143 when you call so the dealer can match the missing rim-size label recall.
- Avoid changing tire or wheel sizes until the corrected label is installed and the proper rim-size information is available.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician installs the corrected certification label. The label adds missing rim size information for the 2012 Titan and Armada vehicles covered by recall 12V143. Nissan also supplied owners with the label and instructions for installing it themselves. If you prefer dealer installation, the label and labor are free under the recall. The source record does not include a separate reimbursement program, so this section does not add one.
