Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling 51 of its 2026 LEAF vehicles because the high voltage battery may have internal damage. This damage can cause a short circuit within the battery module, which significantly increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected battery modules or the entire battery assembly free of charge to resolve the safety issue.
A short circuit in the high voltage battery can lead to a fire even when the vehicle is not in use. Because of this risk, owners should park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the repair is completed.
