It has been 1.5 years since this recall (fast charging the battery) was initiated and there is still no remedy. This issue has prevented us from using our vehicle in the manner is which we intended when we purchased it and has cost us money.

My vehicle is subject to a manufacturer’s recall that was issued well over a year ago. It is allegedly unsafe to use Level 3 charging on my vehicle due to a risk of the battery combusting. The manufacturer has not announced a fix or even issued a current expected arrival date for a fix.

The recall was issued in 2024...there is still no remedy for it. I cannot use the vehicle to drive long distance and am very upset that Nissan continues to ignore consumers and not own up to the problem with the battery and fast charging.

Battery charging system cannot be used on fast chargers without potential overheating and fire, therefore, I cannot travel safely beyond my immediate area without incurring a risk to myself and others. The recall has been ongoing with empty promises of a fix since September of 2024, over 1 year and 6 months ago. So, that means this risk has been in place for much longer.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle is subject to Recall R24B2 / NHTSA 24V-700 (battery fire risk during Level 3 DC fast-charging). Nissan issued a "do not use" directive for the CHAdeMO fast-charge port in October 2024 with a projected remedy date of November 2024. As of March 2026 — over 16 months later — no remedy has been provided.The affected component is the high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack. The battery is available for inspection. The defect has been confirmed by Nissan North America via recall notice and by an authorized Nissan dealer (February 2026), who confirmed no remedy is available. No warning lamps or symptoms were observed; the risk is established by Nissan's own recall documentation.Safety risk: Nissan's own recall states that continued Level 3 fast-charging may cause rapid battery heating and fire. The "do not use" directive effectively removes a core advertised feature of the vehicle with no timeline for restoration.I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs twice regarding this recall (February 2025 and November 2025) and received no remedy or timeline. Nissan has repeatedly postponed its repair schedule. A second related recall (NHTSA 25V655, October 2025) was subsequently issued covering additional model years, further confirming the defect remains unresolved industry-wide.I am formally demanding a vehicle buyback under NY Lemon Law (GBL § 198-a) and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act due to Nissan's failure to remedy this defect within a reasonable time.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My 2019 Nissan Leaf has a charging safety issue that prevents safe use of Level 3 DC fast charging. Nissan has instructed owners not to use Level 3 fast charging because of a potential battery overheating condition. Nissan representatives stated that engineers are working on a remedy, but no repair is currently available. Level 3 charging is a normal and necessary charging method for this vehicle. Being unable to safely use fast charging significantly limits the safe operation and intended use of the vehicle. In addition, I have experienced concerns with slower charging as well. Nissan advised me to have the dealership diagnose the issue while also stating that engineering is still developing a fix. Because the manufacturer has acknowledged a charging safety concern while no repair is currently available, I am submitting this complaint so the issue is documented and reviewed by NHTSA for safety implications.

See attached document for complaint. I am the owner of a 2019 Nissan Leaf that has a recall on the Level 3 charging system. I have received many letters telling me it will be soon for them to fix the issue and they still haven't done a thing to resolve this. I am [XXX] and live on $1200 a month social security and can’t afford to trade in with a payment every month to upgrade. I live in the country and it is many miles to doctor visits and other appointments and it causes me much stress to keep going. Please let me know anything you can about my problem.

Manufacturer Name : Nissan North America, Inc. Submission Date : SEP 19, 2024 NHTSA Recall No. : 24V-700 Manufacturer Recall No. : R24B2 My Vehicle: 2019 Nissan LEAF Description of the Safety Risk: While the vehicle is Level 3 quick charging, the increased electrical resistance could result in rapid heating of the battery. If quick charging continues, a battery fire may occur increasing the risk of injury. This recall has been open since Sept 2024. The promised remedy date (Nov 2024) has passed. My VIN look-up still shows no remedy available which means I am unable to use Level 3.
