Nhtsa 24v-700 was announced September 2024. It is now January 2026 without a fix nor can I fast charge, preventing me from using this car for daily travel. What is NHTSA’s recommendation for this recall? Nissan keeps extending the date for a fix.

Manufacturer recall number r24b2 - no remedy available for more than a year! I am the original owner of my 2019 Nissan Leaf sl in California but have been unable to use my car for traveling due to the fast charge port recall. I have performed all the services and the recalls at the local Nissan dealer but there is still no remedy for the fast charge issue. As per the purchase agreement with Nissan, I should be able to use fast chargers without limitation but the lack of ability to use the fast charge port has severely hampered my ability to use the vehicle to travel even within my state. Nissan has promised a fix for more than a year but has failed to deliver.

Nissan still has not provided a remedy for recall number Nissan recall r24b2 NHTSA 24v700000. This prevents me from being able to access the full use of the car because I cannot fast charge without risk of damaging the ev battery. Just last week I had to borrow a gas car and pay for gas in order to take a road trip. This is unacceptable. We should have a remedy by now.

More than a year later, and Nissan still has no remedy available for recall 24v-700, posing a fire risk to consumers. In what universe would a software remedy take a major auto manufacturer more than a year to develop? NHTSA has the ability to regulate and safeguard the public. Instead they have become known as a toothless, ineffective exemplar of government brokenness. Why?.

I was traveling north on freeway 57 at approximately 70mph. The dash lit up red with 12v and charging warnings. Power was shut off and car went into neutral and warned me to pull over. This is an incredibly busy freeway and I was in the far left lane. I barely made it to the shoulder coasting before car started shuttering and jerking and stopped rolling. I could have been killed.

The front collision detection system frequently stops working, especially when there is wet weather. The little light on the dash comes on that shows it's not working. Also. My car has a serious battery issue that is not related to the fast-charging issue with the current recall. The battery frequently loses charge while driving, and I have to cut trips short and head home in "turtle mode".

There was no incident. . . But I am reporting the fact that Nissan has not provided a remedy and the recall has been in place over a year. I and other owners of affected Nissan Leafs are not able to use the car to its full capacity. I strongly recommend NHTSA encourage/force Nissan to deliver a remedy and, indeed, compensation for the fact that these cars could not be use for long-distance driving for over a year (and counting).

Nissan Leaf experienced large state of charge fluctuations while driving. State of charge was jumping up and down rapidly. Vehicle was taken in to alpine Nissan in federal height, colorado. Car was diagnosed with a cell imbalance across multiple cells which coincides with recall number r24b2 (nthsa - 24v-700). I have been trying for weeks to get Nissan consumer affairs to give me a solution for the car as its undrivable due to the safety defect. At this point I haven't been able to get anyone on the phone in the last week. The car has a serious loss of power risk and is a fire hazard. The defect is well documented in the recall. The raw battery data and invoice for battery replacement is attached. Case number with Nissan is #[xxx]. I cannot get a written statement from the manufacturer or the dealer that the car is safe to drive in its current state. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

*high voltage battery defect/failure - this is what was believed to be the issue when it was towed to the dealership. What is left of it is available for inspection at the dealership for now, however the insurance may take it to a salvage yard since the fire department finished their investigation. *while at the dealership after they spent the day trying to recreate what happened they parked it and planned to try again the next day, then someone walked by and saw smoke coming from the car and called 911. They called it a thermal runaway and it burned for hours before being moved to a safer, emptier lot where it was covered in thousands of pounds of sand. The night before the mileage range dropped roughly 70%, unaware of the recall in our mail that hadn't been opened we stopped to try to charge so we could get home. Thankfully none of the chargers worked since the recall was for a potential fire if plugged into a level 3 charger. We tried to drive home only to end up on the side of the road in total system failure. Police sent incident management to get us to safety. If we had made it home we are told this could have caught our home on fire and would likely have blown up our house and taken neighbors houses out as well. It could hurt more people or structures while they tried to recreate the problem. I understand the dealership had $20k in damages from the fire on top of which my car is clearly a total loss. Homes & businesses nearby had to be evacuated. , what is left of the car has been inspected by the county fire marshall, insurance CO. Police were called, but no investigation. When I called consumer affairs at Nissan, I spoke to 3 different people who said there was nothing they could do. Had one other time 3 weeks earlier that the range dropped significant, we got home plugged it in and it seemed fine. The only warnings said we were low on miles and to stop to charge which would have made things worse, could have killed us if they had worked.

I am the original owner of a 2022 Nissan Leaf, purchased new. On the evening of Thursday, 11/20/2025 I became aware of an active recall affecting my vehicle related to a battery fire hazard when using DC fast charging stations. I only learned of this serious safety defect when attempting to trade in my vehicle, at which point the dealership declined to accept it due to the unresolved recall. This recall poses a significant safety risk that I was not informed about despite being registered with Nissan. I have regularly used DC fast charging stations without any knowledge that doing so could result in a fire and potential severe injury. The recall notice does not appear in my Nissan account dashboard, although two other recalls for my vehicle are properly displayed there. However, when I independently search my VIN on the NHTSA website, the recall is clearly linked to my vehicle. As a result of this defect and lack of proper notification, I now own a vehicle with reduced functionality, a documented fire risk, and diminished resale value. On the morning of Friday, 11/21/2025 I contacted Nissan's consumer affairs and requested that Nissan repurchase my vehicle given the severity of this safety defect and the impact on my ability to use or sell the vehicle. This morning (Monday 11/24/25) I was informed Nissan has refused to buy back my vehicle. The promptness of their reply is concerning and indicates they do not take this issue seriously. I am deeply concerned about the adequacy of Nissan's recall notification process when such a critical safety issue was never communicated to me through my registered account or other direct means. I request that NHTSA investigate why I was not properly notified of this recall despite being the registered owner, whether other affected owners may have similarly failed to receive adequate notice of this serious safety defect, and whether Nissan's refusal to repurchase my vehicle is appropriate given the circumstances.

When level 3 charging the cabin will fill with visible smoke every other time roughly. I have woken up from naps coughing and pressure in my head.

See attached document for complaint. I am writing to formally report a serious safety concern regarding my 2020 Nissan Leaf which appears to be affected by a known defect involving the lithium-ion battery and DC fast charging capability. Despite Nissan's acknowledgment of the issue and a recall campaign (r25a3), no effective remedy has been provided. Owners have been advised to avoid using level 3 fast chargers due to the risk of battery overheating and fire. This restriction significantly compromises the vehicle's utility and safety, especially for long-distance travel. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether Nissan has met its obligations under federal safety regulations and whether further enforcement or expanded recall action is warranted. I am also seeking clarification on my rights as a consumer under current recall protocols.

I can’t charge the car. I live in a city without a garage. I 100% need level 3 chademo charging to use this car. Please pressure the automaker to fix it or buy back the vehicle as I cannot use the car. This is unacceptable from Nissan. Lemon!.

Greetings my vehicle has approximately 63k and the entire battery pack has already been replaced one time. Approximately 3-4 weeks ago I got a letter informing me that I can no longer fast charge and there is no remedy for this at this time. I work 1 hour away from my home, so I haven't been able to get to work in weeks. I asked for a buy back and they stated no. I asked Nissan's consumer affairs for a rental and they said no. I asked the dealership where I purchased the vehicle for a rental and they said no. It is important to note that providing a rental is part of the recall or this is my understanding. It is also important to note that I have an extended warranty for this vehicle which should also include a rental. I pay almost $600 a month for this hunk of junk, and I cannot understand how this is acceptable in any way. Please advise.

Nissan has a safety recall with no resolution. You cannot travel in this vehicle if you cannot use a fast charger. I have family emergency. I called Nissan consumer affairs. Case xxx. Customer service said maybe a loaner car can be an option. Marshay a consumer affairs representative said this is not an option. There is nothing they can do. There is no resolution at this time or eta. Nissan should take all of these cars back if they are this dangerous and they don't know how to fix. Nissan mechanics dont know what to say and just refer you to Nissan comsumer affairs who dont have an answer. Slow charging is 8 hours or more, you can't go anywhere. Charging is 30 to 45 minutes at each station even if is called fast charging.

The high-voltage battery on my 2022 Nissan Leaf is subject to recall 25v655. I learned about this in late October 2025. The recall notice states that the battery cells can develop excessive lithium deposits, which increases electrical resistance and can cause rapid battery heating during level 3 fast charging. Nissan instructs owners not to use level 3 charging at all until a “remedy” is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect. Nissan states it will install software that monitors for “state-of-charge fluctuation” and, if detected, will prevent the vehicle from restarting or recharging in order to avoid a thermal incident. This means the defect inside the battery cells is still present, and the car may disable itself if the defect begins to appear. The recall materials also state there is no warning before overheating occurs. This creates multiple safety concerns: • the underlying battery defect remains uncorrected. • the vehicle can become immobilized (unable to restart or recharge) if the software detects the condition. • loss of level 3 charging capability affects the ability to travel safely or plan charging when needed. • a battery fire risk exists during level 3 charging if the defect is not detected in time. Nissan’s documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the “progression” of a thermal incident, not to repair the defective battery. I am concerned that my vehicle contains a known hazardous defect that has not been physically repaired and that the software-only response is inadequate to ensure safety. I am filing this complaint so NHTSA is aware that the remedy being offered does not address the internal battery defect itself and may leave owners exposed to continued safety and reliability risks.
