Problem: Nissan is recalling certain model year 2012 titan and armada vehicles, manufactured from august 12, 2011, through march 13, 2012. The part 567 certification labels on the vehicles do not contain rim size information. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, tire selection and rims.

The safety recall began on may 28, 2012. Owners may contact nissan at 1-615-725-1000.
