The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Leaf. The contact received a phone call advising to take the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V700000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where a first-phase software update was performed as an interim repair, and the contact was advised to use quick charging after driving the vehicle for a limited amount of time. The contact followed the dealer's instructions and returned to the dealer, and was provided a gift card. The contact used the Level 3 quick charging after the repair. The contact later received a message not to use the Level 3 quick charging feature. The contact was confused and contacted the manufacturer, who was unable to confirm whether the interim recall repair was performed. Upon contacting the NHTSA Hotline, the contact was informed that the VIN was still under recall and that the remedy was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.

This vehicle is subject to Safety Recall 24V-700 (Manufacturer Recall R24B2) due to a defect in the lithium-ion battery that can cause a fire during Level 3 DC Fast Charging. Since the initial notice, I have received four separate recall communications from the manufacturer, yet as of March 2026, no permanent remedy has been provided. The manufacturer’s only "interim" solution is an instruction to refrain from using the Level 3 DC Fast Charging (CHAdeMO) feature. This has effectively disabled a primary advertised function of the vehicle and creates a substantial safety risk should the port be used. This defect has rendered the vehicle unsellable on the secondary market and significantly impairs its daily utility, as I am unable to use charging infrastructure at my place of employment. The manufacturer continues to delay the final remedy with "coming soon" notifications, leaving me with an unsafe and substantially devalued asset for over a year.

Probably related to vehicle battery recall (that Nissan doesn't have a solution for yet), but when the battery gets beneath 30% it drops suddenly to 0%. I lost propulsion on the highway and it was dangerous. Going at a much lower speed than traffic it was difficult to work my way over to the right emergency lane. Even though my battery had recovered back to 25% after I stopped, the accelerator pedal would not move the car.

NHTSA ID: 24V-700 Was announced September 2024. It is now January 2026 without a fix nor can I fast charge, preventing me from using this car for daily travel. What is NHTSA’s recommendation for this recall? Nissan keeps extending the date for a fix.

Nissan still has not provided a remedy for recall number Nissan recall R24B2 NHTSA 24V700000. This prevents me from being able to access the full use of the car because I cannot fast charge without risk of damaging the EV battery. Just last week I had to borrow a gas car and pay for gas in order to take a road trip. This is unacceptable. We should have a remedy by now.

the front collision detection system frequently stops working, especially when there is wet weather. The little light on the dash comes on that shows it's not working. ALSO. My car has a serious battery issue that is not related to the fast-charging issue with the current recall. The battery frequently loses charge while driving, and I have to cut trips short and head home in "turtle mode".

When my battery range falls below ~125 miles, I have extreme range fluctuations especially at freeway speeds with any hills. Because I drive over a mountain range to commute to work, I can't safely drive the car. This is a known issue related to the recall from 2024 that has not been fixed. When I first encountered the issue in December 2025, I did not know about the recall. I took it to the Nissan dealer (Stevens Creek Nissan) and they did not tell me that there was a recall on the battery and that I shouldn't fast charge. At the time, I was fast charging to get the range safely above 120 miles so that I could make it home without complete battery failure.

See attached document for complaint. I am writing to formally report a serious safety concern regarding my 2020 Nissan Leaf which appears to be affected by a known defect involving the lithium-ion battery and DC fast charging capability. Despite Nissan's acknowledgment of the issue and a recall campaign (R25A3), no effective remedy has been provided. Owners have been advised to avoid using Level 3 fast chargers due to the risk of battery overheating and fire. This restriction significantly compromises the vehicle's utility and safety, especially for long-distance travel. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether Nissan has met its obligations under federal safety regulations and whether further enforcement or expanded recall action is warranted. I am also seeking clarification on my rights as a consumer under current recall protocols.
