- Problem
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 GT-R vehicles manufactured February 24, 2014, to June 16, 2015 to be sold in Puerto Rico.

- Due to the label missing the GVWR/GAWR information, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- 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.
- Notes

What this recall means for you
Certain 2015-2016 Nissan GT-R vehicles built between February 24, 2014 and June 16, 2015 for sale in Puerto Rico have a certification label that is missing the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Because the label does not show these limits, the vehicle does not comply with federal certification requirements.
Without the GVWR and GAWR information, an operator may not know how much weight the vehicle can safely carry, which could lead to overloading and an increased risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will apply a corrected label free of charge. The recall began on December 23, 2015. Owners with questions can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261, and you can check your VIN for any open recalls.
