WHEN I AM TOWING MY 4000 LB TRAILER, USING A WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH, SET UP PROPERLY BY MY RV SPECIALIST, WITH EITHER UNLOADED OR WITH A LOADED WEIGHT NOT EXCEEDING EVEN 6000 POUNDS, THE ARMADA SINKS IN THE BACK END IN A WAY THAT THE REAR TIRES COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE WHEEL WELL RIMS. MY RV SPECIALIST IS VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I AM DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP OR HOLE, THE TIRE COULD STRIKE THE WHEEL WELL RIM AND CAUSE A BLOW OUT OR MAJOR ACCIDENT. THEY ARE CONCERNED THE SPRING RATIO IS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY FOR THE ARMADA (WHICH HAS A TOW PACKAGE AND IS SUPPOSEDLY CAPABLE OF TOWING 8500 POUNDS). I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA'S ATTENTION AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM, INSTEAD TELLING ME THAT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, IT IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY!

Sep 12, 2019

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."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.
