Nissan and Infiniti Backup Camera Recall: What You Need to Know

Overview of the Recall

Nissan and Infiniti have issued a recall affecting approximately 1.2 million vehicles due to a critical issue with the backup camera system. This recall spans multiple models and model years, including popular sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, and work vans. The problem lies in the backup camera and display settings, which can be adjusted in a way that the rearview image becomes invisible. This setting is retained the next time the vehicle is placed in Reverse, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

The Problem

The primary issue is with the backup camera system. The settings can be adjusted in such a way that the rearview image is no longer visible when the vehicle is in Reverse. This setting is retained, meaning the image will remain invisible in subsequent uses of the reverse gear. This defect poses a significant safety risk, as drivers rely on the backup camera to avoid obstacles and prevent accidents when reversing.
