Nissan Recalls GT-R Vehicles for Missing Weight Rating Labels

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 GT-R vehicles manufactured between February 24, 2014, and June 16, 2015, that were sold in Puerto Rico. The affected vehicles have a Certification Label that is missing the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) information. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The missing weight rating information creates a safety risk because operators may not know the vehicle's weight limits. This could lead to overloading the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will apply a corrected label free of charge. The recall began on December 23, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
