Nissan is recalling 1.3-million vehicles due to safety issues with the backup cameras.
The recall involves Nissan and Infiniti model lineups from the 2018 and 2019, both in Canada and the United States.
Vehicles affected by the recall include:
- The 2018 and 2019 Nissan Altima, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Versa Note and Versa Sedan.
- The Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80.
- From the 2019 model year, the Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L.
The automaker says that owners can adjust the camera displays so the image is not visible, which increases the risk of a crash. The displays will keep that setting the next time the vehicles are shifted into reverse which violates federal safety standards.
The company says there are no reports of crashes or injuries.
Starting October 21, dealers will update the backup camera software settings at no cost to owners.
