ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Nissan Armada?
The 2025 Nissan Armada enters its debut year with an inherently limited federal safety record, reflecting its status as a new model. One recall has been issued, addressing a software fault within the back-over prevention system; this is a system-level correction rather than a structural or powertrain concern. The complaint record for the 2025 model year totals 19 unverified submissions, with the Electrical System area noted most frequently. Complaints also cite Vehicle Speed Control and Air Bags, the latter being a critical safety component. The record includes allegations of two crashes and one injury, though NHTSA has not verified these incidents. For those seeking broader context, the 2024 Armada achieved a Safety Index of 82, and the 2023 model year an 80, based on NHTSA data. These prior model year scores, however, do not apply to the 2025 model.
