A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Vehicle control module (VCM): Nissan Leaf (ZE1)
- Period mentioned
- 2017–2023 (built from 17/12/2017 to 30/5/2023; only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- In specific and rare circumstances, after switching off cruise control the car may accelerate without you asking it to.
- Possible cause described
- According to the EU alert A12/02477/23 (Safety Gate, notified by France) and the UK DVSA (R/2023/215, 37,574 cars), the vehicle control module (VCM) logic can cause sudden, unintended acceleration when cruise control is deactivated. The fix is a VCM software update.
- Check for the garage
- Until you have the update, pay attention when switching off cruise control and brake if the car accelerates. Ask a Nissan dealer, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding on your car.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
