- Owners are advised not to use Level 3 quick charging until the remedy is completed. Dealers will update the battery software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed June 16, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's Customer Service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R25C8. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 4, 2025.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 19,077 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 27 times before this, most recently in December 2024 as 24V969000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 144 complaints with NHTSA, 42 of them before this campaign was filed. 90 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2021, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V071000 (back over prevention), 23V494000 (vehicle speed control), 23V048000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nissan North America, Inc. with NHTSA on October 1, 2025 as campaign 25V655000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
