7 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
When you start the vehicle, a software glitch in the touchscreen system can keep the backup camera picture from showing up. Shift into reverse and the screen may stay blank, so you cannot see what is behind you. Federal rules require that picture to appear. This affects certain Nissan Murano and Armada and Infiniti QX80 models. The fix is a software update, done either at the dealer or sent to the vehicle over the air, at no charge.
One or both front brake calipers — the parts that squeeze the brake pads against the wheel to slow the car — may not be as strong as they should be, and could break. If one breaks, you can lose braking at the front wheels, which do most of the stopping. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal brake safety standard. Dealers will inspect both front calipers and replace them where needed.
The quarter glass on some 2024 Murano SUVs — the small fixed window panes toward the rear on each side — may have been installed with the wrong primer. Primer is what helps the adhesive grip the glass, so with the wrong one the glass can work loose and come away from the vehicle. A glass panel that falls off in traffic can land in the road or strike another car. Dealers will replace both the left and right quarter glass panels free of charge.
Part of the front steering or the rear axle housing on these vehicles may be weaker than it should be, because it wasn't heat-treated correctly at the factory. If you hit something like a curb, that weak part can bend. Bending in the front can make you lose control of the steering. Bending in the back can let a wheel come off the vehicle. Either one can cause a crash.
A suspension part called the transverse link, on the left side, right side, or both, may have been built incorrectly on these Muranos. The part can pull away from its ball joint, which is the pivot that holds the wheel in position. If that happens while you are driving, you can lose control of the car. A dealer will check the part numbers on these links, replace them if needed, and realign the wheels.
The pump for the anti-lock brakes — the system that keeps your wheels from locking up in a hard stop — can leak brake fluid onto a small circuit board inside it. Fluid on those electrical parts can cause a short circuit and start a fire. Many of these vehicles were in an earlier recall and still need work. If the ABS warning light stays on more than 10 seconds after starting, Nissan says park outside, away from buildings, and stop driving. Dealers replace the pump unit free.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
The backup camera and display settings can be adjusted so the rear view image no longer appears — and the system keeps that setting the next time you shift into reverse. That means the screen can stay blank when you back up and you cannot see what is behind the vehicle. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility rule. A dealer will update the camera settings software for free.
