2019-20 Nissan ZE1 Leaf: vehicle may move when in ‘park’
In January 2021, recall campaign PG0C9 was issued for Nissan ZE1 Leaf vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 24 October 2019 to 30 October 2020. While the vehicle was being driven, the welded joint on the actuator plate could fail. If this occurred, the park lock may not engage when the driver moved the gearshift lever into ‘Park’. This, in turn, could result in unintended vehicle movement that posed a risk of injury to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders. To fix, the actuator plate was to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18655.
2018-23 Nissan ZE1 Leaf: cruise control software
In July 2023, recall campaign R23A6 was issued for 2018-23 Nissan ZE1 Leaf vehicles. Due to a software issue, the cruise control function may not operate as intended and could cause unintended acceleration when deactivated. This condition could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and/or other road users. To fix, the cruise control software was to be updated by a Nissan Dealership. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005730.
