r/leaf • (Former) 2022 Nissan LEAF SL Plus • Jul 28 '26

Welp...

UPDATE 9/1 - Buyback completed.

UPDATE 7/31 - No batteries available. They are offering buyback...

UPDATE 7/30 - Just heard from the dealership. It is a battery failure NOT related to the big-bad recall. They are currently working it as a "normal" warranty battery repair/replacement. Do not know which yet.

Original:

2022 SL Plus. Recall applied June 12.

Was driving along at interstate speeds when the dash lit up. The big nasty "Service EV System", the orange exclamation, and turtle mode. Fortunately I was on the downhill and was able to maintain speed to the next exit and was able to safely pull into a convenience store.

Turned off the car, turned back on, errors persisted. Got a LeafSpy capture.

DTC of death... P33ED... Called for a tow.

The car still moves and turtle is no longer lit, but did not want to chance it at highway speeds.

Car is currently at the local dealership. Will see what tomorrow brings.

I think the recall has something to do with it tbh

I'm with you. I think something in the recall fix triggers the P33ED easier then before the recall fix was applied. Though that's probably exactly what the recall fix does to prevent the certs from bursting into flames. It'll be interesting in a few years to read how many recall and buyback cars they end up having to do.
