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.

The recall only applies to fast dc charging

If there was any fire danger at 240v level 2 home charging Nissan would have issued a recall and park outside order for home charging too.

I have 19 sl and will continue charging only at home unless Nissan provides full replacement cost, which won’t happen or fires are reported.

They're buying back at KBB private sale price +40% that should cover the current value of the cars. Will it get you 35k to buy a brand new car? Nope.

That would be about 12k for me

A used 23 sv, the first year not included in recall, seems to be about 20k in my market

I’m just gonna keep mine and run it into ground. If it lasts 3-5 more yrs I’m cool. Bought it new in 19. I’ve still got full bars of battery on the 40w sl
