Nissan owners, take note: two separate recalls have been issued for more than 40,000 vehicles across the U.S. due to critical safety concerns. From fire risks caused by faulty anti-lock brake systems to rearview camera malfunctions that increase the risk of accidents, these recalls underscore the importance of staying informed and taking action to protect yourself and others on the road.
Fire Risk Recall: ABS Defect in Popular Nissan Models
Nissan’s first recall involves a fire risk stemming from a defective anti-lock braking system (ABS). In affected vehicles, brake fluid may leak onto the ABS actuator’s control circuit board, potentially causing an electrical short that could lead to a vehicle fire.
Models Impacted (2015–2019):
- Nissan Murano (2015–2018)
- Nissan Maxima (2016–2018)
- Nissan Pathfinder (2017–2019)
- Infiniti QX60 (2017–2019)
To reduce the risk of fire, Nissan advises owners to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the defect is repaired. Nissan will inspect and replace the ABS actuator at no cost to owners. Notifications are being sent to affected customers, but you can confirm your vehicle’s status by checking its VIN on the NHTSA website.
Rearview Camera Recall: Software Issues in Newer Models
The second recall impacts 2024-2025 Nissan Rogue and 2025 Infiniti QX80 models, with a software defect causing the rearview camera to show a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. This malfunction violates federal safety standards for rear visibility and poses an increased risk of collisions.
Models Impacted:
- Nissan Rogue (2024–2025)
- Infiniti QX80 (2025)
To address the issue, Nissan will provide a free software update via over-the-air transmission or at a dealership. Notifications began mailing on November 21, 2024.
