Each campaign in detail

Parking lock: faulty weld on the actuator plate (recall)
Manufacturer recall
On certain ZE1 Leafs, the weld of the parking lock actuator plate can be faulty: the lock may not engage in P, and the car may move. According to car-recalls.eu (Rapex alert of 30 October 2020, Nissan code PG0C9), the Leafs concerned were built in the United Kingdom between 19 July and 22 September 2019. The remedy is replacing the plate. In Australia, the same code led to advice to apply the handbrake in the meantime.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
