Component
BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The rearview camera is the part that shows you what's behind your car when you're backing up. In some 2019-2021 Altima and 2020-2021 Sentra models, damage to the camera's electrical wiring could cause the image on the screen to distort or disappear.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image is distorted or missing, you'll have a harder time seeing what's behind your car, which increases the risk of a crash, especially when reversing.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will inspect the camera and wiring, and fix or replace them if needed, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair when you get the recall notice letter, which is expected to be mailed on October 19, 2023.
