What's wrong?
The rear view monitor on 2018-2022 Nissan Leaf vehicles uses a camera in the rear hatch and a wiring harness that carries the video signal to the dashboard display. When the vehicle is in reverse, that image helps the driver see the area behind the vehicle and supports the rear visibility system used for backing up.
On affected Leaf vehicles, the harness is routed through the rear hatch, where hatch movement and vibration can let the terminal connector move side to side. Over time, that movement damages the harness and weakens the camera signal. The display can distort, or the rearview image can go out entirely.
If the harness is damaged, the owner can see a blurry, distorted, or multi-colored camera image before the image is lost. Treat that display change as the warning sign, because it means the camera wiring is no longer sending a clean signal.
Who's affected?
Spans five Leaf model years, all tied to the rear view camera.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific hatchback is included.
What's the safety risk?
A rearview camera image that becomes blurry, distorted, multi-colored, or unavailable reduces the driver's rear view and increases the risk of a crash while backing up. If the display changes, use extra care, check around the vehicle before reversing, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2022 Nissan Leaf is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free rearview-camera harness inspection and repair that fixes the distorted or blank camera image.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V071 and Nissan recall R23D7 when you call.
- Use mirrors and look behind you while backing until the repair is complete; the camera image can distort or go blank.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the rearview camera and camera harness for damage. If either part is damaged, the technician replaces it. If no damage is found, the technician applies protective tape and reroutes the rearview camera harness to prevent further contact. Parts and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid for this repair before the owner letter, Nissan's reimbursement instructions cover how to submit documented costs because some affected vehicles are outside warranty coverage.
