“NHTSA Recall Number24V-700 It has been over 1yr since the recall was issued for fire risk on the Nissan leaf and still no fix is available. Nissan continues to ask users to not charge with level 3 charging which in my leaf was an expensive option. Limits my ability to use my car for longer trips. How much time do they legally have to remedy the issue?”
NHTSA complaint #11691428, filed 2025-10“This is in regards to recall number 24V-700. This recall was issued in September 2024 with a resolution set for November, then December 2024, then March 2025, and finally Spring 2025. We are now in the Summer of 2025 with no resolution yet. This recall limits the usefulness of my vehicle, and perceived value if sold due to not being able to fast charge.”
NHTSA complaint #11669105, filed 2025-06“Because of the unresolved battery problem for which a fix was promised by March 2025 the range of my vehicle is limited to the round trip distance from my house. At Highway speeds that means only 60 miles one way. If I am forced to charge at the available Highway rest stop charger I risk a fire, but I may have to do so. This is unacceptable.”
NHTSA complaint #11668643, filed 2025-06“I am unable to use the DC fast charge option as the recall specifically says I am not able to use it until a remedy is available. It has been more than 6 months, I am unable to use my vehicle as designed, and the range is unreasonably limited.”
NHTSA complaint #11662359, filed 2025-05“Regarding NHTSA Recall 24V-700 which was first reported in September of 2024. We were told not to use the fast charging port because of a fire hazard. Using the slower charging port takes about an extra 8 hours per charge. This was supposed to be fixed in November of 2024. To date....almost 2 years later....not fix is available. This has caused me over 800 additional hours of charging time!!! Nissan should have to pay us for this time as we bought the car with the expectation of using the fast charger.”
