BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020 LEAF electric vehicles. Under certain circumstances, the images for the back-up camera can disappear while in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the back-up camera software, free of charge. This recall began August 31, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 6,157 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 76% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention once before this, most recently in September 2019 as 19V654000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 163 complaints with NHTSA. 5 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V700000 (electrical system), 24V071000 (back over prevention), 23V494000 (vehicle speed control), 23V048000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nissan North America, Inc. with NHTSA on July 17, 2020 as campaign 20V412000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
