The 2018 Nissan LEAF has 7 recalls, the most serious being a loss of speed control where the vehicle can accelerate unintentionally or fail to slow down when the accelerator is released after certain cruise control and drive mode changes.
The rearview camera is the subject of several recalls: wiring harness damage from normal movement and vibration can cause the camera image to distort or disappear entirely while backing up. The windshield defroster also has two related issues worth noting. Under very cold conditions (below -10°C), the defroster may not clear the windshield when operated at maximum fan speed as the owner's manual instructs, and the manual itself contains incorrect defroster instructions that can lead to the same reduced performance. Together, these issues mean that in cold weather the windshield may not clear fully, reducing forward visibility.
