2019 Nissan Leaf

Battery charging system cannot be used on fast chargers without potential overheating and fire, therefore, I cannot travel safely beyond my immediate area without incurring a risk to myself and others. The recall has been ongoing with empty promises of a fix since September of 2024, over 1 year and 6 months ago. So, that means this risk has been in place for much longer.

Vehicle is subject to Recall R24B2 / NHTSA 24V-700 (battery fire risk during Level 3 DC fast-charging). Nissan issued a "do not use" directive for the CHAdeMO fast-charge port in October 2024 with a projected remedy date of November 2024. As of March 2026 — over 16 months later — no remedy has been provided.The affected component is the high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack. The battery is available for inspection. The defect has been confirmed by Nissan North America via recall notice and by an authorized Nissan dealer (February 2026), who confirmed no remedy is available. No warning lamps or symptoms were observed; the risk is established by Nissan's own recall documentation.Safety risk: Nissan's own recall states that continued Level 3 fast-charging may cause rapid battery heating and fire. The "do not use" directive effectively removes a core advertised feature of the vehicle with no timeline for restoration.I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs twice regarding this recall (February 2025 and November 2025) and received no remedy or timeline. Nissan has repeatedly postponed its repair schedule. A second related recall (NHTSA 25V655, October 2025) was subsequently issued covering additional model years, further confirming the defect remains unresolved industry-wide.I am formally demanding a vehicle buyback under NY Lemon Law (GBL § 198-a) and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act due to Nissan's failure to remedy this defect within a reasonable time.

My 2019 Nissan Leaf has a charging safety issue that prevents safe use of Level 3 DC fast charging. Nissan has instructed owners not to use Level 3 fast charging because of a potential battery overheating condition. Nissan representatives stated that engineers are working on a remedy, but no repair is currently available. Level 3 charging is a normal and necessary charging method for this vehicle. Being unable to safely use fast charging significantly limits the safe operation and intended use of the vehicle. In addition, I have experienced concerns with slower charging as well. Nissan advised me to have the dealership diagnose the issue while also stating that engineering is still developing a fix. Because the manufacturer has acknowledged a charging safety concern while no repair is currently available, I am submitting this complaint so the issue is documented and reviewed by NHTSA for safety implications.
