My Nissan Leaf 2022 Electric Vehicle(VIN: [XXX] ) is subject to Safety Recall 25V-655 (Manufacturer Recall Number R25C8) dated September 30, 2025. As per the recall notice, the vehicle suffers from 'excessive lithium deposits within battery cells' which can cause 'rapid heating of the battery' and result in a battery fire. The manufacturer has officially instructed me NOT to use Level 3 Quick Charging (CHAdeMO) until a remedy is completed. This restriction substantially impairs the use and value of the vehicle, as it eliminates the ability to use the car for long-distance travel, which is its primary intended purpose. It has been over 3 months since this recall was issued, and the status remains 'Remedy not yet available.' The manufacturer has failed to provide a timely repair for this fire risk.

Nissan has informed Leaf owners that we cannot use DCFC to charge the car, there is a danger of fire from an overheating battery. This poorly designed battery management system severely limits the distance one can travel in the car. It has become an expensive short commute vehicle! Nissan offered to "repurchase" my car. The offer had over $27K deductions for milage and repayment of my $10k lien I would have to pay Nissan $2,800 for them to take the car back! Nissan should take full responsibility for the known recall and poor engineering.
Nissan has a safety recall with no resolution. You cannot travel in this vehicle if you cannot use a fast charger. I have family emergency. I called Nissan consumer affairs. Case XXX. customer service said maybe a loaner car can be an option. MARSHAY a consumer affairs representative said this is not an option. There is nothing they can do. There is no resolution at this time or eta. Nissan should take all of these cars back if they are this dangerous and they don't know how to fix. Nissan mechanics dont know what to say and just refer you to Nissan Comsumer Affairs who dont have an answer. Slow charging is 8 hours or more, you can't go anywhere. Charging is 30 to 45 minutes at each station even if is called fast charging.
Battery stopped charging, dealer repaired it and it happened again in less than 30 days. It has happened more than three times now.
