Nissan Leaf recall might replace entire vehicle, in some cases
The welds in question are located on each side of the motor just above the sway bar ends. If the welds are there, no worries; then the vehicle is released to the customer with no further action needed.
If the welds are missing, well... that's a horse of a different feather. The official recall notice from NHTSA says that if ANY welds are missing, the vehicle is to be replaced. Yes, believe it or not, the entire vehicle could be replaced under this recall.
In the documents released by NHTSA, Nissan says: "The inspected vehicles will be inspected and if the welds are missing, Nissan will replace the customer's vehicle with a new one at no additional cost. it is anticipated that only a handful of retailed vehicles are affected by the weld issue and require vehicle replacement."
The recall does not go into effect until the middle of June but owners are advised to contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261, or NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline: 1-888-327-4236.
Why would they replace the entire vehicle, and not just the missing welds? Are you curious?
