## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2023504](/recalls/tc/2023504.md), 2023-09-11: Visual System. Issue: On certain vehicles, the rearview camera wiring harness could be damaged by movement and vibrations. If this happens, the rearview camera image may not display correctly or may not display at all. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when reversing.  Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the rearview camera wiring harness, apply a protective tape, and reroute it. If the wiring is damaged, the rearview camera and wiring harness will be replaced.
- [2021117](/recalls/tc/2021117.md), 2021-03-05: Steering. Issue: On certain vehicles, the steering tie rod nut may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the tie rod could become loose and separate from the steering knuckle. This could result in a loss of steering control.  Safety Risk: A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you take your vehicle to a dealer to re\-tighten the nut on the left and right steering tie rods. If the nut is missing, a new nut and washer will be installed.
