Recall 19V-654: Back Over Prevention

Reported Sep 12, 2019 · 1,228,830 vehicles affected · Nissan North America, Inc.

Problem: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

Early turbo failure should be extended to newer vehicles not only up to 2018. I am experiencing turbo failure and there is no extended warranty for this repair.

Air Bags · reported Jun 23, 2026

Air bags failed. Auto has 28,000 miles and has no accidents. Warning light showed that airbags were not working June 2026. Auto brought to dealer, and it is a very costly job to fix. Auto just out of warranty in years not miles. Infiniti in previous years has had a recall on their cars, but not my VIN number for failing airbags. This is a manufacturing defect, and it should not have to cost me. Infiniti has offered a partial discount.

The problem has been confirmed by a dealership service department, and the vehicle is currently available…

The twin turbo failure is a known issue with Infiniti. I took my vehicle to the dealership and it was diagnosed with having a passenger side turbo failure. I have 145K miles on my vehicle. It is outside of the warranty period and very expensive to repair. Infiniti knows there is a problem regarding turbo failure in the Infiniti Q50 and the consumer is forced to deal with expensive repairs $7K for one turbo per the dealership. Had I been made aware of there being a problem, I would not have purchased an Infiniti.
