NEW FOR 2013:

- New entry-level S trim.

- Refined aerodynamics and wider range of regenerative braking, including a new "B" drive mode that increases regen braking during deceleration.

- New 6.6 kW charger reduces 220V charging time nearly in half.

- Available hybrid heater system for better, more efficient winter weather startups.

- New standard charge port light and lock with a charge port door release button added to key fob.

- Standard leather-wrapped steering wheel, new black interior colour, and sun visor extensions.

- Increased rear cargo space with 2nd row seat upright.

- New "Eco route" feature added to the available navigation system.

After going unchanged in 2012, the Nissan LEAF enters 2013 with significant upgrades in enhancements to aerodynamics and regenerative braking to give the all-electric vehicle more range. Also, a new on-board charger cuts charging times down to nearly half when using a 220V power source.

The Leaf uses an 80 kW synchronous electric motor powered by a 24 kW lithium-ion battery. Estimated charging times are 21 hours on 110-volt and down to close to four hours on 220-volt. With a DC fast charge, available as an option on the SL, 80 per cent of battery strength takes 30 minutes. Under ideal conditions, the Leaf has a range of 160 kilometres. A special CARWINGS telematics feature, no-charge for 36 months, allows the operator to remotely monitor the battery, start the charging cycle or turn on the HVAC system through a mobile phone.

Trim levels are S, SV and SL.

Features on the S trim include 80 kW AC synchronous electric motor, 24 kWh lithium-ion battery, 6.6 kW onboard charger, front/rear disc brakes with regenerative braking, vehicle dynamic control, traction control system, portable tickle-charge cable, normal charge port, charge port light and lock, Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Start, heated front and rear seats, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, automatic temperature control, 60/40 split fold-down rear sears with rear seat heater ducts, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, 4-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with USB port, rear spoiler, splash guards, airbags (front, front seat, side curtain, and TPMS.

SV trim adds Nissan Navigation System with 7-inch touch-screen monitor, NavTraffic, CARWINGS, 6-speaker audio, 16-inch alloy wheels, hybrid heater system, steering wheel-mounted cruise control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, partially recycled cloth seats, passenger side map pocket, B-mode regenerative braking drive mode, and quick charge port.

SL trim adds leather seating, LED headlights, automatic on/off headlights, fog lights, 17-inch 5-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, HomeLink, photovoltaic solar-panel rear spoiler, cargo cover, 7-speaker Bose audio system, and Around View Monitor.

Recall Information

Safety recalls issued by the manufacturer and Transport Canada for this vehicle model.

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: R22C5

Units Affected: 4850

Type: Compliance Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
When the temperature is below -10° C, the defroster may not work properly if you follow the instructions in the owner's manual and use the maximum fan speed. As a result, you may not be able to defrost the windshield. 
Note: This is an expansion of Transport Canada recall 2023-045. 

Safety Risk: 
A windshield that cannot be defogged or defrosted can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Nissan will notify owners by mail and supply an addendum to the owner's manual that provides the correct settings for using the defroster when the temperature is below -10° C.

Manufacturer Recall #: PC680

Units Affected: 4580

Type: Safety TC

Details:

Issue: 
When the car is parked in very cold temperatures for a long time, a relay in the brake system may freeze. If this happens, multiple brake warnings will stay on in the instrument cluster after the car is started. The driver may also notice a hard brake pedal. If the car is driven, this could cause an increase in stopping distance. 
 
Safety Risk: 
An increase in stopping distance could create the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will mail owners a letter explaining this problem. The letter will describe how the brake warnings work. Drivers should not drive the car if the warnings stay on. Nissan will provide a 4 year/80,000 km warranty extension to repair the problem with relay freezing.

Manufacturer Recall #: N/A

Units Affected: 257130

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

On certain vehicles, a defect in the occupant classification system could allow an adult sitting in the front passenger seat to be classified as a child or an “empty seat”. This would suppress the airbag, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: For affected Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue and Sentra vehicles, dealers will reprogram the airbag control unit and the occupant classification system control unit. For affected Leaf, NV200, Pathfinder, Q50 and JX35/QX60 vehicles, dealers will replace the occupant classification system electronic control unit.

Manufacturer Recall #: N/A

Units Affected: 647

Type: Safety TC

Details:

On certain vehicles, when the vehicle is parked in cold temperatures for a prolonged period of time, the relay inside the electronic brake booster may freeze. This may result in increased brake pedal effort, which could increase stopping distances, potentially resulting in a crash causing injury and/or damage property. Correction: An Electric Vehicle certified dealer will reprogram the electrically-driven Intelligent Brake Control Unit software. Note: If this condition were present, a brake warning lamp would illuminate when the vehicle is first started to alert the operator of the issue.

Manufacturer Recall #: N/A

Units Affected: 60022

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant classification system software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. If this occurs, the passenger airbag would be deactivated without the illumination of the airbag warning lamp. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system.
