Franklin, TN – October 14, 2025 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 19,077 2021-2022 Nissan Leaf EVs that may catch fire while charging. This defect increases the chances of injury and property damage. 

This recall appears to be an expansion of a similar one from November 2024. 

Recall summary

Electric vehicles can be charged quickly using so-called Level 3 chargers. In the affected EVs, the battery is faulty which may lead to it becoming overheated and catching fire.

Recall risks

If the EV bursts into flames while being charged, the fire may spread to nearby structures, causing property damage.

Nissan has already recalled more than 25,500 older Leaf EVs over the same issue in November 2024. None of those vehicles are affected by the current recall. 

Other Nissan recalls

In July 2024, Nissan recalled nearly 6,000 pickup trucks that could lose steering, also as reported.

The repair

The carmaker is currently working on a software remedy, which – once available – will be performed free of charge. 

In the meantime, owners are advised not to use Level 3 charging.

Notifications to the owners should be mailed on October 24, 2025.

Navistar International recalls trucks for possible engine shutdown

Navistar International recalls trucks for possible engine shutdown

February 26, 2021 Rebecca Rand

Lisle, IL – February 26, 2021 – Navistar has recalled 27,457 International brand trucks that may stall. The recall includes:

  • 2018-2020 International LoneStar trucks
  • 2021 International LoneStar trucks
  • 2017-2021 International LT trucks

Recall summary  

The problem originates with a battery cable that may break, causing the truck to lose electrical power and the engine to shut down. This is caused by the cable not being able to withstand the “stresses” placed on it by the trucks’ movement due to a design error, according to the testing conducted by the manufacturer.

Warning signs

In some cases, drivers may be warned of the problem if the engine briefly or intermittently shuts down prior to a complete stall.

Other Navistar recalls

This is the second Navistar recall in February. Earlier in the month, the truck manufacturer recalled over 17,000 medium- and extreme-duty trucks that may move unexpectedly after overpowering the parking brake.

Safety risks

If the truck loses power on the road, it creates a hazard for the driver and other motorists and could lead to a crash.

The repair

Dealers will replace the battery ground cable “with a more flexible” one designed to not to break while the truck is moving. Navistar will send owners recall notifications with more information around April 16.
