‘Crash risk’ warning prompts recall of 3,700 Nissan vehicles

A Transport Canada notice says a software issue affecting several of Nissan's models may increase the risk of a crash.

Nissan is recalling several models of their vehicles because of a software problem.

A Transport Canada notice says that on certain vehicles, a software issue could lead the infotainment system display to remain blank when the vehicle is turned on. When the transmission is then shifted into reverse gear, the rearview camera image will not appear on the display.

“A rearview camera image that doesn’t display could reduce a driver’s ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up,” it read. “This could increase the risk of a crash.”

The vehicles impacted are: Infiniti QX80 (2025 and 2026); Nissan Armada (2025 and 2026); and Nissan Murano (2025).

The company notes that the recall only impacts certain trim levels, which is a pre-packaged group of features for particular car models.

In total, 3,700 vehicles are affected.

The company will get in touch with owners of the recalled vehicles by mail. Owners will be advised to visit a dealership to have the infotainment system software updated.

Infiniti owners can look up whether their vehicle model is recalled on the Infiniti recall website and Nissan owners can check their models on Nissan’s recall website.
