A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- e-Power battery management system (lithium-ion battery controller): Nissan Qashqai J12
- Period mentioned
- 2025–2026 (built from 8/7/2025 to 20/5/2026; only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- Dashboard warnings, limp mode with reduced power or loss of power; the car may stop charging the battery. According to the DVSA, it does not return to normal until it has been left switched off for about 30 minutes with the key away from the car.
- Possible cause described
- According to the EU alert SR/02289/26 (Safety Gate, notified by France), because of an incorrect software calibration the lithium-ion battery controller may wrongly detect faults through electrical interference or changes in circuit resistance; the system switches to fail-safe mode while driving, limits power and prevents charging and, under certain conditions, may open the main relay and leave the car without propulsion. The UK DVSA (R/2026/290) lists it for 15,592 cars.
- Check for the garage
- If the warning appears or the car loses power, leave the road as soon as it is safe. Ask a Nissan dealer, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding on your car. The fix is to reprogram the battery management system.
- Cost cited in the source
