Nissan North America is recalling approximately 66,159 of its 2018-2023 LEAF electric vehicles. The affected vehicles may accelerate unintentionally if a driver changes the driving mode—such as switching from 'D' to 'B', turning on 'e-Pedal', or selecting 'ECO' mode—immediately after disengaging the cruise control. To fix this issue, Nissan dealers will provide a free software update to the vehicle control module.
If the vehicle accelerates unexpectedly without driver input, it significantly increases the likelihood of a crash and potential injury to occupants or others on the road.
