Dealers will address the problem by installing updated battery software designed to prevent the overheating from escalating into a thermal incident.
According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this buildup increases electrical resistance, which in turn can cause dangerous heat spikes.
The recall affects 2021–2022 model year Nissan Leaf EVs equipped with a Level 3 fast-charging port.
Bad cells. Not bad cooling. That's a different problem.
Because they don't use any active temperature control for thier batteries. Also the reason why the batteries fail early, and they refuse to change.
- This year’s Leaf finally uses active temp control. I have no idea why it took them so long to adopt it.
  
  Not on the base model.
