In owners' own words

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Leaf. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V655000 (Electrical System); however, the contact was informed by the dealer that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was informed. The contact had not experienced a failure. Electrical system
No fix for Nissan Leaf level 3 charger issue: While an affected vehicle is Level 3 quick charging, the increased electrical resistance could result in rapid heating of the battery. If quick charging continues, a battery fire may occur increasing the risk of injury. Customers are instructed not to use Level 3 quick charging via the CHAdeMO connector until the remedy is completed. Electrical system
My Nissan Leaf is currently under NHTSA Recall Number 25V-655 since Oct 2025 and I cannot charge the car on a Level 3 fast charger. This has made the car unusable for my current needs. I have been forced to rent and borrow cars for necessary long distance trips. Nissan continues to delay their planned resolution for this problem and this situation is completely unacceptable.
