Nissan Recalls Leaf EVs Over Child Seat Belt Safety Concerns
Nissan has issued a recall for nearly 4,000 model-year 2026 Leaf electric vehicles due to a safety issue with the rear-seat seat belts. The recall was prompted by findings from Consumer Reports, which identified that the seat belts may not remain locked when securing an infant car seat, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Nissan's investigation traced the issue to a manufacturing defect involving a supplier. This recall highlights the importance of rigorous safety standards and testing in the automotive industry.
