***** Campaign Summary *****
Nissan is committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers. Nissan previously notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the previously announced Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign (R22C5) for MY2018-2023 LEAF vehicles was being expanded to include certain MY2013-2023 LEAF vehicles to correct the instructions for defrost operation in very cold temperatures. After further discussions with NHTSA, Nissan is removing the MY2013-2017 LEAF vehicles from R22C5 and moving them to a new campaign R23A1.
Following the Owner’s Manual instructions for defroster operation may result in reduced defroster performance under specific conditions. More specifically, in very cold temperatures (below 23 F/-5 C), maximum fan speed can result in the Positive Temperature Coefficient (“PTC”) heater entering failsafe mode for undercurrent protection, which can limit defroster output. This reduced defroster performance can limit visibility out of the windshield, which does not meet the requirements of S4.3 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 103; Windshield defrosting and defogging systems. The potential for loss of forward visibility may lead to the increased risk of a crash or injury to the vehicle occupants.
The dealer will add an addendum to the Owner’s Manual to vehicles in their inventory with updated instructions on how to operate the defroster under the subject conditions. Owners of 2018-2023 Nissan LEAF vehicles will be mailed the addendum with the updated instructions beginning in April 2023, and owners of 2013-2017 Nissan LEAF vehicles will be mailed the addendum with the updated instructions beginning in May 2023.

BOX 685001 Franklin TN 37068-5009 Company phone : 800-647-7261 Population : Number of potentially involved : 94,343 Estimated percentage with defect : 100 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2013-2017 Nissan LEAF Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : HATCHBACK Power Train : HYBRID ELECTRIC Descriptive Information : The noncompliance is specific to Nissan LEAF vehicles listed above. The issue present on these vehicles is related to the defroster operating instructions in the owner’s manual and their effect on the Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater under certain conditions. The Nissan LEAF is the only model equipped with a PTC heater as the primary heating device. Model Year 2011-2012 Nissan LEAF vehicles are equipped with a different PTC heater design that is not affected by the subject condition and therefore excluded from the recall population. Model Year 2018-2023 Nissan LEAF vehicles are subject to 23V-048 filed on February 2, 2023. Production Dates : NOV 19, 2012 – JUL 12, 2017 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Noncompliance : Description of the Noncompliance : Following the Owner’s Manual instructions for defroster operation may result in reduced defroster performance under specific conditions. More specifically, in very cold temperatures (below 140 F/-100 C), maximum fan speed can result in the Positive Temperature Coefficient (“PTC”) heater entering failsafe mode for undercurrent protection, which can limit defroster output.
