Nissan Backup Camera Recalls Cover Blank Screens and Image Loss
Missing rearview images recur throughout Nissan's backup camera notices, with software and harness damage requiring different remedies. Rogue appears repeatedly: the 2019 settings recall includes certain 2018-2019 Rogues, two 2022 notices cover certain 2021-2022 Rogues, and an October 2024 notice covers certain 2024-2025 Rogues. LEAF appears in the broad settings recall, a 2020 image-disappearance recall, and a February 2024 harness recall covering certain 2018-2022 vehicles. Harness damage also affects certain 2019-2021 Altimas and 2020-2021 Sentras. Later notices identify blank displays in certain 2025 Frontier and Kicks vehicles and startup software errors affecting certain 2025 Murano and 2025-2026 Armada and Infiniti QX80 vehicles.
Warning signs to watch for
- September 2019 settings recall: the rearview image may remain invisible the next time reverse is selected.
- July and October 2022 infotainment recalls: the head unit may reboot, leaving the rearview display inoperative.
- September 2023 Altima/Sentra and February 2024 LEAF harness recalls: the rearview image may be distorted or lost.
- October 2024 Rogue/QX80 and June 2025 Frontier/Kicks recalls: the display may show a blank screen in reverse.
- November 2025 Murano/Armada/QX80 recall: a startup software error may leave the rearview image absent when reverse is selected.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of the listed backup camera notices tells owners to stop driving or park outside. The September 2019 settings, July 2020 LEAF, July and October 2022 infotainment, September 2023 Altima/Sentra, February 2024 LEAF, October 2024 Rogue/QX80, June 2025 Frontier/Kicks, and November 2025 Murano/Armada/QX80 notices do not tell owners to stop driving. They describe missing, distorted, or inoperative rearview images that reduce rear visibility or increase crash risk. The notices provide recall remedies without declaring continued driving safe.
What the free repair involves
Remedies are free. Dealers update software for September 2019, July 2020 and June 2025. July/October 2022, October 2024 and November 2025 offer dealer or OTA updates. September 2023 Altima/Sentra and February 2024 LEAF repairs involve inspecting cameras and harnesses, replacing damaged components as necessary, or applying protective tape and rerouting the harness if no damage is found.

Common questions
Which Nissan backup camera recalls offer an over-the-air update?
The July 2022 rental-vehicle notice, October 2022 infotainment notice, October 2024 Rogue/QX80 notice, and November 2025 Murano/Armada/QX80 notice specify either a dealer software update or an over-the-air update. Each of those notices states that its update is free of charge.
Why might an Altima, Sentra or LEAF need a harness repair?
The September 2023 recall covers certain 2019-2021 Altimas and 2020-2021 Sentras; the February 2024 recall covers certain 2018-2022 LEAFs. Both identify camera harness damage that can distort or eliminate the rearview image and specify inspection-based remedies.
Can camera settings cause the image to stay off after restarting?
The September 2019 notice says camera and display settings can make the rearview image invisible, and the system retains that setting the next time reverse is selected. Its specified remedy is a free dealer update to the backup camera settings software.
