More than 1.2 million Nissan and Infiniti models recalled for back-up camera issues

Once a luxury, reversing cameras are now a technology required by the federal government for all new cars. As such, any quirks with the systems can lead to headaches, as Nissan and its Infiniti luxury division are currently doing.

The documents released on September 12 describe in detail an impressive reminder of the Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, which includes more than 1.2 million vehicles. Drivers can choose a display setting that removes the rear view image in reverse, and vehicles will remember this choice the next time the driver puts the car in reverse. As such, the affected vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards.

The Nissan models involved include 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Border, GT-R, Kicking, Leaf, maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Scout, rascally, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Versa Note and versa Sedan. From Infiniti, the Q50, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L and QX80 are all included in the recall. The documents did not specify the exact figures for each model that had the defect, but the Nissan and Infiniti models with higher sales figures would be the most affected, compared to the GT-R, for example.

Fortunately, this is not an extremely serious problem, and the solution will be manageable for homeowners. Those driving one of the vehicles will have to bring their vehicle to a Nissan or Infiniti dealership. There, a technician will install new system software to meet all federal requirements.

Owners will begin receiving their notifications by mail on Oct. 21, according to the builder.
