Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018 Nissan 370Z vehicles. The driver's side curtain air bag may have been installed incorrectly during production, possibly affecting its deployment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection," and 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 AND 2012 INFINITI G37 COUPE VEHICLES AND CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 NISSAN 370Z VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 2, 2011, THROUGH AUGUST 29, 2011. DUE TO A PROGRAMMING ERROR, THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH CONTROLLER IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION.
The Problem: The backup camera on my 2020 Nissan 370z (purchased in 2022) has been malfunctioning, intermittently, since I got the car but has gotten worse over time and rarely works now. When I put the car in Reverse the camera shows a blue screen and/or a black screen and then nothing. My car model doesn’t have an Infotainment screen. The backup camera displays in the rearview mirror only. It is available for inspection upon request. Safety: Without a backup camera it is difficult/impossible to see kids and adults walking behind my car when I back out of a parking space. I’m backing up partially blind and that’s scary. This problem was reproduced by a dealership in Sep. of 2022 and a new camera was installed and I was told it was fixed. But it started again 2 months later and continues. (NOTE: I didn’t return to that dealer because of a different botched repair they did.) I have had the same issue inspected by 2 other dealers (one as recent as Oct. 1, 2026) When I took the car in 2 weeks ago for some general maintenance, I told them about the camera and asked them to check it out. He told me that IF I need a new camera, it was going to cost me $2,000 (+ the labor). After checking it he said it was working properly, apparently not hearing the “intermittent” part. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance rep to my knowledge. There is no warning lamp, message or symptoms before the camera fails. My Best Assessment: My camera problem sounds exactly like the one in the model cars Nissan has been recalling for years. It’s not the camera, it has to be the wiring harness or software. Since my car hasn’t been included in the recalls, they won’t fix it (unless I pay for it). I am not the only 370z owner with this issue according to various 370z forums. This backup camera issue “Directly violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111, Rear Visibility”. I think 2020 model 370z cars should be added to the recall. ~Thank you.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan 370Z. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the steering wheel locked up, and the contact was unable to start the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where a mobile mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with steering module failure. The contact called the dealer to schedule an appointment, and the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under Nissan Voluntary Service Campaign Number: P3208; free of charge, because the vehicle had already been previously repaired under the Voluntary Service Campaign. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the vehicle history did not display the completion of Nissan Voluntary Service Campaign Number: P3208, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 176,000.

While driving my 2014 Nissan 370Z with only around 43,000 miles, the car suddenly made a loud bang in the rear area and then would not shift normally in automatic mode while I was on the highway with my child in the car. When I inspected the underside afterward, there were no fluids leaking and I had not hit anything that could have caused the noise or malfunction of the output sensor. Shortly after, the vehicle went into limp mode and would not shift past 2nd or possibly 3rd gear. Manual mode also stopped working. This limited the car to around 25 mph, creating a dangerous situation in traffic since it could not accelerate normally. The check engine light came on, and a scan revealed a P0720 Speed Sensor Circuit failure. The dealer advised replacing the valve body assembly at a cost of nearly $5,000. A transmission electronics failure of this kind at such low mileage is not normal wear and tear. Research shows that other Nissan and Infiniti owners with the same 7-speed automatic transmission have experienced the same problem. This appears to be a recurring defect that presents a serious safety risk when the vehicle suddenly loses acceleration ability.

As of 05/20/2025 my vehicle would not detect the Key in the vehicle to start. Put the Key in the slot to detect just in case it’s a bad battery on the Fob and nothing was being detected. Found out the steering lock unit is faulty. Called a local Nissan dealership and was told my VIN does not fall under a recall but I am having issues regarding the recall that has been sent out to some customers regarding the steering lock unit. Not too sure what can be done at this point.
