Indexbit Exchange:More than 40,000 Nissan cars recalled for separate rear-view camera issues

The Indexbit ExchangeNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued recall notices for more than 40,000 Nissan vehicles due to a malfunction that causes the loss of the rearview camera image when the vehicles are in reverse.

Two separate recall notices were issued on Oct. 3.

The first, for 37,236 Nissan Rogue and Infinity QZ80 vehicles, is due to a software error that "may cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse."

The second, for an additional 3,230 Infinity QX80 with a Around View Mirror system installed, is also due to a software error that "may cause the rearview camera to freeze and display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse."

The NHTSA noted that "the vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Recalled vehicles

• 2024-2025 Nissan Rogue
• 2025 Inifinity QX80

As a remedy, Nissan will begin pushing out over-the-air software updates beginning in late October.

For vehicles lacking that capability, as well as those impacted by the around view mirror system, dealers will update vehicle software for the affected systems free of charge.

Recall letters are expected to be mailed by Nov. 21. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R24B3, R24B4 and R24B5.
