2025 Nissan Frontier rear display may blank in reverse
The 2025 Nissan Frontier's center information display may show a blank screen in reverse, violating federal rear-visibility standards. This could reduce driver visibility and increase crash risk.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This recall addresses a federal motor vehicle safety standard violation (FMVSS 111 rear visibility), a safety-critical system. However, no injuries or deaths have been reported, and the hazard remains potential rather than realized, placing it in the High severity category per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
Plain-English summary
Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2025 Nissan Frontier and Kicks vehicles due to a software defect in the center information display unit. When the driver shifts into reverse, the display may show a blank screen instead of displaying the rearview image.
This condition violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 111, which requires rear visibility. A missing rearview image reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Approximately 79,755 vehicles are affected. Nissan has mailed owner notification letters as of July 10, 2025.
Owners should contact their Nissan dealer to have the center display software updated at no charge. The recall numbers are PD152 and PMA48.
