Known issues on the 2009 Armada. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers front and rear lower control links sold as replacement parts, where an improperly welded collar can separate and degrade vehicle handling, possibly causing a crash. The second covers the brake pedal assembly, where an out-of-spec pivot pin can let the pedal partially disengage from its bracket, producing noticeable pedal looseness and reduced braking force. The third covers the instrument panel fuel gauge, which can inaccurately show fuel remaining when the tank is empty, risking a highway stall. The fourth covers the driver's air bag cover emblem, which can crack and become a projectile during deployment. Owners have filed 23 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a fuel gauge complaint to a brake pedal inspection or a front suspension check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Armada.
