Think about it, what would be the worst thing that could happen if you were backing up your automobile, and the screen went black/no view back? The fear of hitting another car! Well this situation is very real for about 3700 Nissan automobiles in Canada due to a computer error hiding rear-view cameras. When shifting into reverse at start-up there is a conflict with the vehicle's operating system, and therefore, no display of what is behind. Fortunately, there will be a free repair! Makes you rethink how much you can really trust all the high-tech features in today’s vehicles. Stay tuned for all of the details!

Which Nissan Cars Got This Problem?

This recall hits specific new models that folks love for big trips and family hauls. The glitch is in the infotainment software—when car starts, screen goes dark and stays that way. Put it in reverse? No backup camera feed, so you blind backing up. That's big crash worry!

  • Nissan Murano (2025 models)
