Component
BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The back-up camera system in your vehicle is designed to show you what's behind your car when you're in reverse. However, in certain models, the camera settings can be changed so that the image isn't visible when you're backing up.
Risk if Unfixed
If you can't see what's behind your vehicle, you could fail to notice obstacles, people, or other cars, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will update the camera settings software for free, so you can trust that the back-up camera is working correctly when you're in reverse. The update is part of a free recall repair.
