NHTSA recall in the US: Nissan Leaf owners warned of fire hazard during fast charging, production chaos for successor model

[Redaktion]

Japanese automaker Nissan is currently making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The US National Highway Traffic Safety (NHTSA) has initiated an urgent recall of older Leaf models due to a fire hazard during fast charging. At the same time, the company is being slowed by massive production problems with its long-awaited successor – a double blow for the electric mobility division.

Maybe if Nissan took care of the ICE products, maybe they wouldnt be in hot water...

Frontier, Patrol, Sentra, Kicks & Qashqai could be great sellers if marketed properly

This sucks. 4 year old EVs and their batteries have degraded to the point of caching fire. And the owners are only getting a software update to maybe mitigate the possible fire risk. This will do wonders for the second hand market for those model years. But I wouldn't touch them with a long stick.
