The recall involves two separate issues, both linked to software malfunctions that result in the rearview camera's image disappearing when the vehicle is in reverse—a potential hazard that increases the risk of a collision.
The first recall notice impacts 37,236 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. The culprit? A software error that can cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen.
The second notice affects an additional 3,230 Infiniti QX80 vehicles equipped with the Around View Mirror system, which may also experience a frozen or blank screen due to software glitches.
These malfunctions are not just inconveniences; they represent a violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, “Rear Visibility,” which sets the bar for ensuring drivers have a clear view of the area behind their vehicle to prevent accidents.

Nissan is addressing this issue head-on by rolling out over-the-air software updates starting in late October. For vehicles that aren't equipped with this capability, as well as those with the Around View Mirror system, dealers will perform the software update free of charge.

If you own one of the affected models, it's crucial to take action to ensure your safety and compliance with the recall.
In a previous story, Jeep owners are asked to take precautions due to a recall involving a potential fire hazard in their vehicles.
