Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies five 2014 Nissan LEAF recalls involving air bag classification, braking, propulsion, and structure. A passenger Occupant Classification System fault could deactivate or improperly control the passenger air bag, increasing injury risk in a crash. A brake relay may freeze in very cold temperatures, requiring greater pedal effort and potentially increasing stopping distance. An inverter fault may shut the vehicle down unexpectedly, while missing structural welds may reduce crash integrity. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check shows whether your LEAF is affected and whether the manufacturer remedy remains open.
