Nissan to recall about 168,000 US vehicles over incorrect weight rating labels

July 21 (Reuters) - Nissan is recalling 168,149 vehicles in the U.S., as the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the certification label is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday. 

The recall affects certain Nissan Armada, Infiniti QX56, and QX80 vehicles, the regulator said.

Dealers will install new labels free of charge, and Nissan will mail replacement labels to owners, NHTSA said.
