What the record says
- Product
- NISSAN LEAF (2016) - Recall 23V296000
- Reason
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2017 LEAF vehicles. The Owner's Manual instructions for defroster operation are incorrect and may result in reduced defroster performance under specific conditions. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems." Reduced defroster performance can limit visibility out of the windshield, increasing the risk of a crash.
