Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada recall 2022599 · manufacturer campaign R22C1 / PC923

21 October 2022

Transport Canada lists: Frontier 2022 · Rogue 2021–2022

What is wrong

Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the in-vehicle infotainment system to continuously reboot. If this happens, the rearview camera image will not appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and ask you to make an appointment with your local dealer to update the in-vehicle infotainment system software. For vehicles with over-the-air (OTA) update capability, Nissan will send a wireless over-the-air software update to each vehicle.

10 December 2021

Transport Canada lists: Frontier 2022

What is wrong

On certain trucks, the bolts that attach the seat belt bracket to the left-rear seat could be loose. As a result, the seat belt bracket could break in a crash. If this happens, the seat belt may not hold a person in place during the crash.

Why it matters

A seat belt that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to inspect the seat belt bracket bolts on the left-rear seat, and replace them, if necessary.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
