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?

State of charge wildly fluctuates at charge less than about 60%, making the car unusable except for very short trips between charges. Lack of fast charging (active recall) means that car cannot be used for its intended purpose

I have the same complaint as the other 2019 leaf owners. It's been over a years since I was told a recall was in effect for the car I haven't been able to drive it any significant distance because I can't use a fast charger. Additionally, the rear camera that had been recalled and supposedly fixed is now malfunctioning again. When I contacted Nissan I did get in touch with the arbitration department but they are giving me the runaround

Nissan issued a recall for my car in September 2024, stating that 2019 Leafs cannot use CHAdeMo fast charging until the problem has been remedied. Nissan gave multiple estimates of when the recall would be completed (first in the fall/winter of 2024, then early 2025). Despite the recall being most recently estimated to be remedied in March 2025, it is now October 2025 and there is no solution, nor any recourse for the lack of remedy. Accordingly, for over a year, I have been unable to use fast charging, making it impossible to take any trip longer that 135 miles (my range on one charge). Using a level 2 charger takes ~8 hours to charge meaning that if the battery gets close to zero, I need to stay in one location for at least 8 hours before I can make it back home. Nissan has not presented any workable solutions nor any kind of compensation for this considerable defect for over 1 year.

The following Nissan recall: NHTSA ID: 24V-700 NISSAN ID: R24B2 The issue was recognized in October of 2024, and owners of affected vehicles were advised not to use level 3 chargers, otherwise the battery cells could experience excessive lithium deposits, creating a risk of explosion. A fix was promised by November 2024, and then rescheduled to be done by spring of 2025 (Nissan's website still says March 2025 as date for remedy). Most recently, Nissan sent out a communication that the fix would be done by the "third quarter" of 2025. This is not only a safety hazard, as if someone forgets the recall, or is unaware of it, there is significant risk. On a practical level, I cannot undertake road trips with my vehicle, as the length of time it would take to recharge on level 2 simply is not logistically feasible. Even for daily commuting, I've had to spend considerable time the past year finding level 2 chargers and waiting for my vehicle to slowly charge. The length of time this has taken is excessive and Nissan should be either buying back all affected vehicles or else offering owners like myself significant settlement checks for the inconvenience.

ENGINE
2019 Nissan Leaf, purchased in USA, 3 years ago. Moved to Canada and imported vehicle through proper methods. When entered into Canada and waiting for safety inspection paperwork, learned that there was an open recall. The open recall is for battery Level3 charging issues. Can catch fire. In order to get safety inspection paperwork, this recall needs to be resolved. Constantly communicating with Nissan US and Nissan Canada, dealership and corporate for a fix and release and it has been scheduled and postponed for the past 2 years. There is no fix or resolution in sight. I cannot legally inspect, register, insure and drive my vehicle during this time. Ive waited 3-4 months now and because I imported from the states, Im one of the few Leaf vehicles that cannot drive my car while recall fix is pending. And its been pending for 2 years now. I simply need my vehicle resolved so I drive my car. No complaint to the dealership, or Nissan corporate has yielded any results.

R24B2 Battery recall has been going on for a full year now with remedies being moved every time the date has been reached. Nissan refuses a buyback, but still has no solution to the no fast charging mandate. The car would NOT have been purchased if I had known there is essentially no level 3 charging on this car.

I have been waiting an entire year for Nissan to resolve the battery issue. I have purchased another house 240 miles away and I need to charge my leaf at least once to move it to my new home. If I fast charge the car it may catch fire and if it does this without the recall being resolved my insurance won't pay for the loss since Nissan has warned the car can not be fast charged. Waiting an entire year is not reasonable. Please force Nissan to resolve the recall by either a software update or battery replacement.

Nissan has told it's customers to not fast charge the vehicle due to the risk of a battery fire, which is a big issue if you are trying to drive a longer distance. No ability to safely fast charge this vehicle makes it worthless unless you use it locally only. Nissan has promised a remedy for this situation, first deadline was March 2025, but they have consistently delayed this action. Something needs to be done in order to rectify this issue. I do not feel safe fast charging this vehicle, and it's pretty worthless to me as a primary vehicle.

Nissan has issued a recall for the fast charging system on this vehicle in September, 2024. Over a year later, there has been no resolution to the charging issue. I live in a rural area where medical appointments, shopping and family activities are outside of the car's battery range. The lack of a solution has rendered my car useless for most times I would need a vehicle. This is my only car so I often need to carpool or borrow to get places.

I recently purchased a 2019 Nissan Leaf that is currently affected by NHTSA Recall Number 24V-700. This recall was initially issued on September 19, 2024, "instructing customers not to use Level 3 quick charging until the remedy is completed". The initial expectation of a corrective remedy was November 2024, which was later changed "Due to an unexpected delay in the final remedy software development" to Spring 2025. Today is September 22, 2025, over a full year from the date that the recall was initiated, and well beyond "Spring 2025", with no remedy available and I'm unable to safely use Level 3 quick charging. I believe this falls into the category of failing or unable "to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner" and Nissan needs to be held accountable for this safety issue that is preventing me from fully utilizing my vehicle as expected.

The contact received the first recall notification a year prior, and the parts were still not available.

The contact stated that the vehicle was useless without being able to utilize the quick charge. In addition, the contact rented a vehicle three times to attend planned family events because of the unrepaired recall. The manufacturer was made aware, and a case was filed. The contact had not experienced a failure regarding the unrepaired recall.
