Nissan is recalling more than 19,000 US vehicles over the potential risk of batteries catching fire while rapidly charging, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday.
Certain 2021-2022 LEAF SUVs equipped with a โLevel 3โ quick-charge port are included in the recall.
The automaker estimated about 1% of 19,077 vehicles โ or 191 LEAFs โ have the defect.
The lithium-ion batteries in the recalled vehicles may have excessive lithium deposits within their cells, increasing electrical resistance and leading to rapid heating of the batteries, authorities said.
The overheating could cause a fire, increasing the risk of injury, they added.

Gee, the NYP left something out of the headline, didn’t they...
Like the fact that these are in EVs.
I’m sure it was simple mistake, right?
That’ll screw with search, won’t it...
The NYP got what it paid for.
That was informative, thanks.
Hmm , as owner of other lithium iron cells, I’d like to know what other characteristics show up. Do the cell voltage show lower or higher than normal ?
Is there any other way other than temp to ,sense, the bad condition
I’d make them refund every penny I spent.
Try not to have an accident... The flames will be intense.
Don’t fill them with gas and they won’t burn as fast. ๐ณ
This is just more madness we have to go through with all the whackos in charge.
That will buff right out..
This fire happened in Littlton, CO. Suburb of Denver.
All that foam they spray on that runs off into the storm sewer. They probably hauled that car off to some water tank in Denver.
Now, imagine a small volunteer fire department having to deal with the fires from these lithium ion batteries. The Chief of my volunteer fire department said that several metro areas in the country have built pools to SUBMERGE these vehicles in. So, they can sit there for a few days just to make sure they don’t reignite.
Just a few days ago, that was a YouTube video from the public information officer of some larger department I believe in Colorado where they covered them fighting a EV fire.
It started as the car smoking in a few flames in the front. On a normal car, they would have quickly put it out. Sure, the car probably wouldโve been totaled by the insurance company, but at least any stuff you had inside would be good. Because it was anEV, as soon as they suspected, the flames may have gotten near battery packs or the wiring for them, they ended up pulling it away from any exposures and just spraying water at the surrounding shrubbery and what not so the fire doesnโt spread and letting it burn out. Also had to call my hazmat team to standby and watch. Then, you have to escort the car on the tow truck back to a specialized lot with a fire engine. Works fine, until you get to EV fires at once and only have one specialized hazmat rig.
