What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2015-2016 Nissan Gt-R is the sticker that identifies the vehicle and lists required weight limits. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating tells the maximum loaded vehicle weight. Gross Axle Weight Rating tells the maximum weight each axle is rated to carry. Those figures help owners, inspectors, and service departments confirm the car is within its certified limits.
On the Puerto Rico market Gt-R vehicles in this recall, that label was printed without the GVWR and GAWR information. Nissan found the omission during an inspection, then found additional cars from the same Puerto Rico group had already left its control. The problem is the label itself, not a failed mechanical part.
There is no warning sign before failure, because this defect is printed on the certification label rather than felt while driving. Owners would notice it only by checking the label and seeing that the required weight ratings are missing.
