Powertrain

Transport Canada recall 2023397 · manufacturer campaign R23A6

18 July 2023

Transport Canada lists: Leaf 2018–2023

What is wrong

Under certain conditions, the vehicle may not slow down after you release the accelerator pedal. This problem can only happen after a specific series of actions is performed in a short period of time, including disengaging the cruise control, changing the drive mode, and applying and releasing the accelerator pedal. If this happens, and you don't apply the brakes, the vehicle may not slow down as expected.

Why it matters

A vehicle that doesn't slow down as expected could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the vehicle control module (VCM).

Heater And Defroster

Transport Canada recall 2023045 · manufacturer campaign R22C5

8 February 2023

Transport Canada lists: Leaf 2018–2023

What is wrong

When the temperature is below -10° C, the defroster may not work properly if you follow the instructions in the owner's manual and use the maximum fan speed. As a result, you may not be able to defrost the windshield.

Why it matters

A windshield that cannot be defogged or defrosted can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and supply an addendum to the owner's manual that provides the correct settings for using the defroster when the temperature is below -10° C.
