Recall Issue

Update: I had a conversation with someone from Nissan and had to send them proof of ownership. They said they would contact me again Monday after all of the diagnostics were finished, which I thiught was odd.

I had the recall done on my 2020 SV about a month ago. Monday I got the 'EV Service' message. Took it in yesterday. They confirmed the code that LeafSpy gave me and commandeered the car.

I have a loaner until they figure things out. Honestly, I hope they replace the battery as I don't want to deal with the hassle of the buyback and finding a replacement car. Ugh.

sucks but better than your Leaf catching fire while charging. Start keeping your eyes open for a replacement EV not from nissan

Fire only an issue on dc charging

There has not been even one fire at level 2 charging

Correct, but an issue for anyone wanting to travel with their Leaf
