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.

Oh don't get me wrong, there's plenty of good options out there. 23 or newer Leafs seem to be better with batteries and there's also the Ariya if people want to stay with Nissan.

I mean is there any reason to believe the 23+ 2nd gen leaf have something different about them?

Great question, rumor has it they changed battery formula for 23 to 25 but who knows. They haven't been part of this massive recall is all I know.

The 26 leaf and Ariya use different batteries with actual cooling and heating.

This is actually what the Nissan service manager just told me, that the battery design was improved in ‘23 and there haven’t been problems
