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.

The force of the collision pushed my vehicle forward into the car stopped in front of me, resulting in a second impact. The force of the initial collision was so significant that the front end of the Honda CR-V was destroyed. My Nissan Armada sustained extensive damage to both the rear and front…

Every few months the battery in the car will die, requiring that the battery needs to be jumped to start the car. This can happen suddenly, sometime after multiple short trips. The dealership has nopt been able to identify the issue. We replaced the battery at the dealership two years ago, and this issue has happened at least 8 to 10 times within the last 2 years.

Engine · reported Sep 29, 2026

The engine oil filtration system failed due to prior service negligence. Specifically, the spin-on engine oil filter was mechanically cracked, crushed, and structurally compromised by technicians during a forced removal attempt on August 1, 2026. The damaged component was deceptively left on the vehicle, leading to catastrophic oil pressure loss, pressurized engine oil spraying onto hot exhaust components, and a subsequent ignition/fire event on September 25, 2026. Yes, the failed oil filter has been completely preserved and is safely available for physical inspection upon request. The…

Service Brakes · reported Sep 28, 2026

My 2019 Nissan suddenly lost braking ability while driving. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor, and the front passenger-side wheel was covered in brake fluid. A mechanic found a cut in the brake hose, which likely caused the fluid leak and brake failure. Cause: UNKNOWN. It may have been mechanical failure, wear, or external damage. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause.
