## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2026 LEAF vehicles. The outer rear seat belt automatic locking retractors \(ALR\) may deactivate early, which can prevent a child restraint system \(CRS\) from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

An improperly secured child restraint system may not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the rear outboard seat belt assemblies, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 28, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated October 28, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800\-647\-7261. Nissan's number for this recall is R26A7. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 7, 2026.
