BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2022 LEAF vehicles. Damage to the camera harness can cause distortion or loss of the rearview camera display image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- A rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the rearview camera and harness for damage and replace them as necessary. If no damage is found, the dealer will apply protective tape and reroute the rearview camera harness. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 9, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R23D7.
- 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.nhtsa.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 57,914 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 5 times before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V628000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 626 complaints with NHTSA, 123 of them before this campaign was filed. 18 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2018, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V655000 (electrical system), 24V700000 (electrical system), 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 February 2, 2024 as campaign 24V071000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
