Defect summary | Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain 2014 model year titan king cab and crew cab pick-up trucks manufactured august 27, 2013, through november 13, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the tire and loading information label overstates the maximum load and passenger carrying capacity of the vehicle.

Consequence summary | If the vehicle is loaded to the capacity stated on the incorrect label, and the tire load capacity is exceeded, the vehicle may experience structural damage to the tire. If this occurs, this may lead to tire failure which could increase the risk of a crash. |
