Yahoo Autos Nissan to recall 1.4 million vehicles globally, including Kicks and Leaf
A Nissan spokesperson told Bloomberg the automaker is recalling 1.38 million vehicles in Japan, Europe, and the U.S. covering five model lines: Kicks, Leaf, Note, Note Aura, and Serena. The Kicks and the Leaf are the only models sold in the U.S. now; the Versa Note retired from our market in 2019. It appears the spokesperson didn't share model year information nor detailed information about the problems. Bloomberg wrote the recall "involves several issues, including cars suddenly accelerating after exiting cruise control and a short circuit that can cause motors to stop while driving," without explaining further.
Autoevolution reports that all five model lines might suffer from a software issue that can cause unintended acceleration after the driver turns off the cruise control.
