Nissan is recalling over 37,000 Rogue and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. 1%, or 372 vehicles, are estimated to have the backup camera defect that may result in the rearview camera display failing to function properly.
The 2024 Nissan Rogue Backup Camera Recall specifically targets 37,236 model year 2024-2025 Rogue and 2025 Infiniti QX80 SUVs, with the announcement published on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website on October 3.
The problem arises from a software error that could lead to a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse, significantly increasing the risk of an accident.
The affected vehicles were manufactured between 2021 and 2023, and Nissan has identified that the backup camera may not display the rearview image when reversing, posing a safety risk to both drivers and pedestrians.
Owners of these vehicles are urged to contact their local dealership for a recall-related inspection and repair.
If your Nissan or Infiniti has undergone repeated repairs for backup camera issues or any other serious safety defect, you may qualify for a Lemon Law claim, which could provide you with a refund or cash compensation.
Affected Vehicle | Average Lemon Law Settlement |
2024 Nissan Rogue | $60,034 |
2025 Nissan Rogue | $60,791 |
2025 Infiniti QX80 | $162,061 |

Which Vehicles Are Included in This Recall?
The recall includes the 2024-2025 Nissan Rogue and the 2025 Infiniti QX80. These vehicles have been identified with a software error that can result in the rearview camera displaying a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse.
This malfunction fails to meet the requirements set forth by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, which addresses rear visibility.
Why Is the Nissan Rogue Backup Camera Not Working?
The backup camera issue in the Nissan Rogue stems primarily from a software error in the infotainment system. This glitch can cause the camera to malfunction, either displaying a blank screen or failing to activate when the vehicle is in reverse.
The issue is linked to the camera’s inability to reset to its default settings after each use, a requirement under federal safety standards.
In addition to the software error, some owners have reported other contributing factors, such as wiring problems or water intrusion into the camera housing, which can also lead to intermittent or complete failure of the rearview image.
These malfunctions pose a significant safety risk, as they compromise rear visibility. Fortunately, no accidents or injuries related to this issue have been reported, according to Nissan’s recall notice.
Is There a Backup Camera Fix?
Yes, Nissan has provided a solution for the backup camera issue through an update to the infotainment system’s software. This fix can be applied either via over-the-air updates or by visiting a Nissan dealership.
Owners of the affected vehicles will receive notification by November 21, 2024, with instructions on how to proceed. For additional information or concerns, you can contact Nissan at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 800-662-6200.
