Despite its advancements over its predecessor, the new Infiniti QX80 has faced its first-ever recall. A software glitch has led to a potential safety hazard, as the rearview camera display may go blank during reverse.
This issue, caused by a low voltage differential signaling communication error, violates federal safety regulations and increases the risk of a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall for approximately 40,000 2025 QX80 SUVs and 2024-2025 Nissan Rogue crossovers.
While the majority of vehicles are unaffected, a small percentage may experience the problem. Infiniti will be contacting owners in November to schedule a free software update to address the issue.
