The 2026 Nissan LEAF has 3 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect that can cause an internal short circuit and fire, even when the vehicle is parked and switched off.
The remaining recall involves the outer rear seatbelt retractors. These retractors have an automatic locking mode designed to hold a child safety seat firmly in place, but they can disengage from that locking mode too early. When this happens, the child seat is no longer held securely, and in a crash it may shift or move in ways that reduce the protection it offers to a child passenger.
