Summary

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, 2025-2026 Armada, and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. A software error may occur in the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence

A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

The IVI 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 January 9, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25D6, R25D5, and R25D7. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 12, 2025.

Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.

LANE DEPARTURE

We came from a 2020 Telluride which had the steering assist and it was awesome. It worked great and kept the vehicle centered in the lane. I bought this vehicle about two weeks ago and we put over 4000 miles this week on the pro4x with the pilot 1.1. This thing is all over the road and it hugs the right line then with any curve even the slightest, it acts like a ping pong ball putting the line to line and have to fight it to straighten it out. We played with the lane assist settings also and no matter which one it’s on, (except for off) if does it. I posted this on a 2025 Armada owners group on Facebook and multiple people said they are having the same issue and that most don’t use it because it feels like the vehicle is going to lose control. I reached out to Nissan USA via email and after a week still don’t have a response.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The wireless charging pad gets so hot that it will issue a temperature warning on my phone and shut it off until it cools down. After researching, it's a common issue for the year and Make of my vehicle. I feel like this is a fire hazard. I drive with my grandson who is still in a car seat, it's a concern that if the car caught on fire, could I get him out of the car seat fast enough. I know Nissan is aware of the issue but so far, they haven't issued a solution. I have used wireless charging pads in Ford and Toyota vehicles and have never had this problem.

SEAT BELTS

The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that the driver's side front seat belt failed to click and close securely. The message that the driver’s seat belt not buckled was displayed. The local dealer was contacted, and it was determined that the seat belt was defective and was fractured. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted, and referred the contact to the dealer, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 16,097.

Visibility🔶 Medium
VISIBILITY/WIPER

The component causing the issue is the rearview mirror of my 2025 Nissan Armada Platinum. This issue occurs only at night or in low-light conditions when the automatic anti-glare feature activates. When this feature turns on and a vehicle is behind me with its headlights on, the rearview mirror becomes foggy/cloudy, significantly obstructing my rear visibility. This is a serious safety concern as it severely limits my ability to see vehicles, pedestrians, and objects behind me, especially during critical maneuvers such as lane changes, reversing, and merging onto highways. Rear visibility is crucial for safe driving at night, and this obstruction increases the risk of an accident. I reported this issue to both Nissan Consumer Affairs and the dealership. They confirmed that this is the intended design of the rearview mirror. However, when I asked them about the technical benefit of this design, they were unable to provide a clear explanation as to why the mirror should become cloudy instead of properly dimming like standard auto-dimming mirrors. Additionally, my side mirrors, which have the same automatic anti-glare feature, dim properly without becoming cloudy or obstructing my view. This inconsistency raises further concerns about the design or functionality of the rearview mirror. The dealership and Nissan Consumer Affairs have inspected and acknowledged the issue, stating that the mirror is working as designed. However, I strongly believe that this design compromises safety. There are no warning lights, error messages, or other indicators associated with this issue. The symptom appears only when the anti-glare feature activates at night, and the problem is consistently reproducible under these conditions. I am requesting a formal investigation into this issue to determine if this design meets vehicle safety standards and to prevent potential hazards for other drivers. I've attached the pictures of the event as well
