2018-2019 Nissan Frontier, Titan, NV200 Backup Camera Recall: Safety Alert and Important Information
Nissan and Infiniti Recall: Backup Camera Display Issue
Vehicles Affected
Approximately 1.2 million model-year 2018-19 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles are affected by this recall. The models include:
- Nissan Frontier pickup trucks
- Nissan Titan pickup trucks
- Nissan NV work vans
- Nissan NV200 work vans

The Problem
The backup camera and display settings in these vehicles can be adjusted in such a way that the rearview image is no longer visible. The system retains this setting the next time the vehicle is placed in Reverse. This lack of a backup camera display image significantly increases the risk of a crash, particularly when reversing.
The Fix
Nissan has announced that dealers will update the backup camera settings software for free. This software update will ensure that the backup camera display remains visible whenever the vehicle is in Reverse, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
