Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Automatic emergency braking activates on clear roads at highway speeds with no vehicle, pedestrian, or object ahead.
  • Sudden unexpected braking occurs repeatedly, sometimes reported as happening three or more times to the same owner.
  • Owners report the system triggers in intersections or on damp roads, causing the vehicle to skid or jerk to a stop.
  • Some drivers say braking events happen with another vehicle close behind, raising the risk of being rear-ended.
  • A dealer reportedly attributed one case to insects on the radar sensor rather than a system defect.
  • Warning lights (including a rear collision indicator) sometimes appear alongside unexplained braking events.

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

    Risk: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
