Nissan Leaf EVs Recalled for Faulty Backup Camera
Nissan has already recalled the Sentra and Altima for a similar issue
Nissan is recalling over 57,000 Leaf EVs from the 2018 through 2022 model years because their backup camera might not work properly. Last year, Nissan recalled the Sentra and Altima sedans for a similar problem. All three vehicles use a similar backup camera design.
Nissan Leaf Recall Details
Vehicles recalled: Nissan Leaf EVs manufactured between Sept. 29, 2017 and April 21, 2022
The problem: An issue with the wiring harness could lead to a blurry, distorted, or blank backup camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, which has to do with rear visibility.
The fix: Nissan is still working on a fix for this issue.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 800-867-7669.
NHTSA campaign number: 24V071
Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
