Configuration applicability

Unresolved · not yet pinned

This model year was built in 3 reviewed configurations (1.8L Front-Wheel Drive; 1.6L Front-Wheel Drive); configuration-scoped findings can differ between them.

To verify: Enter the VIN, or read the engine/drivetrain from the door-jamb label or window sticker, to pin the exact configuration.

Ownership headache outlook

No named issue intersects the stated ownership horizon; continue with a normal independent inspection.

What each horizon reaches

  • 1 yrAbout 12,000 mi — before every named onset band.
  • 3 yr (yours)About 36,000 mi — before every named onset band.
  • 5 yrAbout 60,000 mi — reaches the observed onset band for Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera safety campaign, which your window is inside.
12,000 annual miles · 3-year ownership horizon · Service history is unknown unless verified by the buyer. These are observed report bands, not failure probabilities.

Why this answer

  1. 1No serious applicable issue intersects the stated ownership horizon, and required evidence coverage is adequate.

Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera safety campaign

official recall record

High severity
Whole generationSingle sourceEvidence: Medium confidence

The cited record is bound to model year 2019; no broader incidence claim is made.

Symptom
Nissan North America, Inc.
Why it matters
The official record describes a potential crash, fire, injury, or loss-of-control consequence.

Observed complaint mileage band; not an incidence probability

Reported onset roughly 59,00075,065 mi (median 72,000 mi).

Onset band is beyond your window.

Based on 3 usable reports (4 censored). Complaint mileage is an observed report band, not a population incidence estimate.

What to inspect

  • Check the VIN for open NHTSA actions, then ask the inspector to test the named system and document the result.

Pro check: Independent pre-purchase inspection.

Mitigation

  • Verify the campaign status by VIN and retain the completion receipt if the remedy was performed.

Verified 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.

The official record describes a potential crash, fire, injury, or loss-of-control consequence.

“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." The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash. Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge.

What would change this answer

verified remedy

A newly verified completed remedy with configuration-specific eligibility for Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera safety campaign could improve the recommendation.

contradictory source

A reviewed official or independent source that materially contradicts the claims for Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera safety campaign would force confidence and verdict review.

changed applicability

Reviewed evidence that includes or excludes a different year, engine, drivetrain, trim, or VIN population would change which issues apply.

lost exposure eligibility

A verified production denominator and eligible time-at-risk cohort are required before normalized comparative year guidance can strengthen.

Applied assumptions

  • · 12,000 annual miles
  • · 3-year ownership horizon
  • · Service history is unknown unless verified by the buyer.

Sharpen it further

  • Add mileage — it places the onset bands against your ownership window.
  • Add the asking price — it weighs the findings against what you would pay.
  • Set your annual miles — assumed 12,000; it sizes the window.
  • Choose a horizon — assumed 3 years; it sets the window length.

What we could not verify

Every dimension is listed — including the ones we do not have — each with the concrete next step to close it.

  • ConfigurationPartial

    This model year was built in 3 reviewed configurations (1.8L Front-Wheel Drive; 1.6L Front-Wheel Drive); configuration-scoped findings can differ between them.

    Next: Enter the VIN, or read the engine/drivetrain from the door-jamb label or window sticker, to pin the exact configuration.

  • VIN recall & historyNot verified

    A VIN recall check was not handed to this page, so recall status and title/odometer history for this exact car are unchecked.

    Next: Run this VIN on NHTSA’s recall lookup and request a title/history report to confirm open recalls and past events.

  • Repair costNot verified

    No sourced repair-cost range is available for the named issues in this release.

    Next: Get a written repair estimate for the named issue from an independent shop before you negotiate.

  • Market price contextNot verified

    No asking price was entered and no licensed market-value feed is integrated, so price fairness is not assessed.

    Next: Compare the asking price against recent local listings for the same year and configuration.

  • Onset evidencePartial

    Onset bands rest on a limited number of usable reports; treat the band edges as approximate.

    Next: Weigh the onset band as a reported-onset range, not a failure probability, and confirm condition by inspection.

Coverage & methodology

Evidence: Medium confidence— Enough evidence to decide; some sources are thin or single-origin.

5 of 5 expected sources present · methodology m1-v4-authority-cohort.

  • · Public complaints and recalls do not estimate failure probability.
  • · Observed mileage bands describe reported onset only.
