Body styles covered
- 4-door sport utility
Trims covered
- Base
- Platinum

Known issues on the 2012 Armada. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the vehicle's federal certification label: Nissan omitted rim size information from the Part 567 label, which fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110 and can lead to an incorrect tire and wheel combination that raises the likelihood of a crash. Owners have filed 17 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you're confirming correct tire and wheel fitment or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2012 Armada.
