Jul 21, 2022Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: CameraOver-the-air fix
- Problem
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Rogue, 2022 Frontier, Pathfinder, and Titan rental vehicles.

- Risk
- An inoperative rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Fix
