Summary
The Nissan Armada has 17 recalls spanning the 2004 through 2026 model years, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2025-2026 models where a software error can prevent the rearview camera from displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, reducing visibility behind the vehicle.
The 2020-2021 model years have two fuel pump recalls that overlap in consequence: on 2020 models, the pump can fail outright causing the engine to stall, and on 2020-2021 models, a swelling impeller inside the pump module can also cause it to bind and fail, again cutting engine power while driving. The 2015 model year carries two separate concerns with the front seat belts, where buckles on some vehicles may fail to latch or refuse to release when the button is pressed, leaving occupants unrestrained in a crash. There is also a transmission issue on certain 2015 vehicles where the parking pawl may not fully engage, allowing the vehicle to roll even with the shifter in Park.
Going back to the 2013 model year, certain vehicles have a brake master cylinder that can intermittently reduce pressure to the front brakes, extending stopping distances. On 2008-2011 models, the Nissan emblem on the driver's airbag cover can crack and break free when the airbag fires, sending plastic fragments into the cabin. The 2008 model year also has a third-row left outboard seat belt anchor that may not meet strength requirements, potentially failing to hold an occupant in a crash, and the 2007 model has a similar issue with the driver's side third-row upper seat belt anchor bracket, which can be cracked from the factory.
The 2010 model year has two issues: a front lower control arm collar weld on vehicles built between late 2009 and early 2010 can separate and cause handling to deteriorate with the potential for a crash, and a second-row center seat hinge on vehicles built in June 2010 was manufactured out of specification and may not properly protect an occupant in a crash. On 2004-2006 models, a relay component inside the power distribution module can fail and cause the engine to stall. The 2005 model year has an air conditioning condenser fan motor that can corrode from water intrusion, overheat, and catch fire. The 2004 model year has a label compliance issue where tether anchor location markings did not meet Canadian standards, and the 2012 model has a tire information label missing wheel rim size, also a Canadian compliance matter. A 2019 reflector issue in the left headlamp exists but the filing notes it does not affect vehicle safety.
