Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Forward collision and traction control warning lights illuminate together, sometimes followed by the vehicle stalling or shutting off while in motion.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) or Forward Emergency Braking system malfunctions and disables itself, showing messages like "Front Radar Obstruction" or "Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Unavailable."
- During wet or icy conditions, the slip indicator and AEB lights come on together, the car shudders, steering becomes difficult, and the engine shuts off while driving.
- Rear camera and collision sensors reportedly contributed to a low-speed incident where the vehicle accelerated unexpectedly while shifting gears and struck a house.
- Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) suddenly stops working mid-drive while the AEB warning light activates and dashboard alerts appear.
- Collision and ABS warning lights flicker on and off intermittently without a clear cause, sometimes paired with airbag light issues and sudden acceleration during cruise control use.

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.
