Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2024 LEAF is unknown or other with 4 filings, followed by electrical system (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2024 LEAF, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

When putting the car in reverse, the Backup Camera goes blank. This causes backing up out of a parking space to be hazardous because driver is unable to see around the end of the cars on either side. No inspection has taken place yet. No other warnings or messages.
20250620UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Backup camera stops working, only outputs white screen.
20250212UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Never had an issue with defrost or heat on my 2024 Leaf until I had the recall P4A17 applied. At the last cold snap, the heater worked fine for about 15m and than stopped working, just blowing cold air. I switched it off and waited a bit, switched it back on and it worked again. Called my local Nissan dealer and they said that they are aware of the issue and Nissan working on a fix. Happened again today 11 Feb. another cold snap, 12F when I left the house. Heater worked fine. Again after about 15m only cold air.

The front all-around parking view camera is now dark purple ( no other colors) and its lens is not aligned. I am taking it into Nissan for warranty repair on 8/27/2024. At least one other user online has a similar issue with their 2023 Leaf, mine is a 2024. Since this camera is used for parking situational awareness , you might consider it a safety issue. If it is systemic issue.
