2022 Nissan Pathfinder recalls

Equipment: electrical, infotainment, software · Back over prevention: sensing system, camera

NHTSA campaign 22V527000 · reported July 21, 2022 · Nissan North America, Inc. · 10,477 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Rogue, 2022 Frontier, Pathfinder, and Titan rental vehicles. When the Sirius XM subscription is set to "Not Subscribed," it may cause the infotainment head unit to reboot, resulting in an inoperative rearview camera. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The risk
An inoperative rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
The Infotainment system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 29, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22A5 PC901 PC902.

Jun 22, 2026 · Service brakes
