Nissan is recalling nearly 24,000 Leaf EVs due to a potential battery fire risk during DC fast charging, following concerns raised by the NHTSA.
The affected 2019 and 2020 Nissan Leaf EVs may see rapid battery overheating when connected to Level 3 fast chargers, without any warning signs.
Investigations suggest excessive lithium deposits are causing increased electrical resistance, which may lead to battery fires during fast charging sessions.
Nissan plans to issue a free software update in November, despite not having a clear method to resolve the issue in Leaf's non-cooled battery packs.
