Nissan is recalling approximately 94,343 of its 2013-2017 LEAF electric vehicles because the Owner's Manual contains incorrect instructions for operating the windshield defroster. These incorrect instructions can result in poor defroster performance under specific weather conditions, which fails to meet federal safety standards for windshield defrosting and defogging. To fix this, Nissan will provide owners with a physical addendum to the manual containing the correct operating procedures free of charge.
If the defroster is not operated correctly due to the manual's errors, the windshield may not clear properly, significantly reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
