NHTSA recall 16V119000
Service Brakes · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Leaf vehicles manufactured November 19, 2012, to July 31, 2015. During very cold temperatures, the relay inside the electronic brake booster may freeze, requiring the driver to exert more effort to slow the vehicle down.
Why it matters: If the brake relay fails, longer distances or additional brake effort would be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the intelligent brake control unit software, free of charge. The recall began on March 28, 2016.
