2019 Nissan Leaf recalls
Battery may overheat during fast charging, risking fire
Certain 2019 and 2020 Nissan Leaf vehicles equipped with a Level 3 quick charging port may have a lithium-ion battery that overheats while charging at Level 3 (fast charging speeds).
Rearview camera image can distort or fail, raising crash risk
The rearview camera harness on certain Nissan Leaf vehicles can be damaged, which can cause the rear camera display to distort or go blank.
Leaf May Speed Up Unexpectedly After Changing Drive Mode
Some 2018-2023 Nissan Leaf vehicles can accelerate on their own if the driver changes the driving mode (from D to B, turning e-Pedal on, or switching to ECO mode) after turning off cruise control.
Incorrect defroster instructions may reduce windshield visibility
The owner's manual instructions for operating the defroster are incorrect.
Rear camera image can be turned off, raising crash risk
The rear-view camera and display settings can be adjusted so the backup camera image no longer appears on the screen, and the system keeps that setting the next time the vehicle is put in reverse.

What owners report
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Leaf.

The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Update to complaint XXXâ XXX I am updating my complaint regarding Nissan LEAF recall R24B2 and the dealerâs handling of the recall remedy. On XXX I brought my 2019 Nissan LEAF to Ken Garff Nissan Salt Lake to have recall R24B2 performed. The dealer told me that performing the recall remedy could cause the vehicle to enter reduced-power mode or become non-drivable, and that replacement batteries were backordered or unavailable. The dealer therefore declined to perform the recall remedy at that time. A representative of Ken Garff Nissan Salt Lake also advised me that I could ignore the safety warnings, not have the recall remedy performed, and drive the vehicle through the desert anyway. T
My 2019 Nissan Leaf's battery stopped charging due to a manufacturer defect. Nissan North America confirmed this is covered under NHTSA Recall 24V-700 and agreed to repurchase the vehicle (case #1163589). However, Nissan's repurchase process has been severely delayed by issues connected to the recall remedy itself: Nissan requires a physical title to complete the repurchase, but their own financing arm (NMAC) failed to release a lien for six years after payoff--despite the law requiring them to--and then provided a defective release letter, stalling the process for over a month. Separately, Nissan's own repurchase letter promised a courtesy rental vehicle for up to 30 days during the process
I own a 2019 Nissan Leaf (recall R24B2/NHTSA 24V-700), 70,000 km, battery State of Health 97% per LeafSpy (OBD-based BMS health reading, not the dash gauge). I support the recall's intent and have stopped Level 3 fast charging entirely, using only home Level 1/2 charging. I'm raising a structural concern, relevant beyond my own vehicle: for cars that trip the SOC-fluctuation fault, the only remedy offered is full battery replacement or buyback â scrapping/replacing packs that are often barely degraded, at real environmental cost (mining, manufacturing, disposal) for a risk tied specifically to Level 3 charging, not to driving the car. I'd ask the agency to consider whether the remedy fra
The contact owned a 2019 Nissan Leaf. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V700000 (Electrical System).

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact to reach out to the dealer for assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure.
