EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The brake light switch in your Sentra is what tells your brake lights to turn on when you press the brake pedal. In some 2016-2019 models, dirt and grime can get stuck in this switch, stopping the lights from working.
Risk if Unfixed
If your brake lights don't turn on, other drivers may not know you're slowing down or stopped, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty brake light switch and add a protective cover to keep it clean, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The back-up camera in your vehicle is the system that shows you what's behind your car when you're in reverse. In some 2018-2019 models, the camera settings can be adjusted to hide the image, and it'll remember that setting next time you're in reverse.
Risk if Unfixed
If you can't see what's behind your car when reversing, you're more likely to crash into something or someone — which could lead to serious injury or damage.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will update the camera settings software to make sure the image shows up when you need it. This repair is free, and you'll be notified by Nissan when it's time to schedule the update.

Original — What Happened
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
