Nissan Issues Recall for 2026 Leaf Model Over Potential Steering Issue

Nissan has announced a recall for its 2026 Leaf electric vehicle, citing a safety concern that could affect steering control. The Japanese automaker identified a potential defect in the steering column assembly, which may cause a loss of steering assist under certain conditions.

Owners will be notified by mail starting next month, with instructions to bring their vehicles to authorized dealerships for inspection and repair.
