3. Hazard Information
The recall is based on a specific technical defect in the lithium-ion battery controller (LBC). According to the source data, the LBC may not provide reliable diagnostic results due to parasitic effects or fluctuations in circuit resistance. This condition can cause the integrated circuits that monitor the battery cell voltage to incorrectly detect anomalies.
As a direct consequence of this incorrect detection, the vehicle’s system may switch to a fail-safe mode while the vehicle is being driven. When this fail-safe mode is activated, the vehicle may experience a limitation of engine power and a prevention of charging. Furthermore, if regenerative charging occurs while the system is in this fail-safe mode, the main relay may turn off. This sequence of events can lead to a loss of engine power and a loss of propulsion while the vehicle is in motion.
The risk type associated with this defect is classified as “Injuries.” The source data explicitly states that the loss of propulsion while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of accidents. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
4. Consumer Action Required
The source data specifies that the measure taken is a “Recall of the product from end users.” Consumers who own an affected Nissan X-Trail produced between 01.12.2021 and 21.04.2026 should take action to have the defect remedied.
The exact instructions for consumers are not detailed in the provided recall notice beyond the fact that the manufacturer has initiated a recall. Owners of potentially affected vehicles are advised to contact their local authorized Nissan dealer or official Nissan service center to schedule an inspection and repair. The recall is intended to address the software or hardware issue within the lithium-ion battery controller to prevent the described fail-safe mode activation and loss of propulsion.
5. Official Remedy
The official remedy for this recall is a repair or modification performed by the manufacturer or its authorized representatives. The source data identifies the type of economic operator taking the measure as the “Manufacturer” and the category of measure as “Recall of the product from end users.” The specific technical remedy (e.g., software update, component replacement) is not specified in the provided recall notice. The recall measure entered into force on 07/10/2026. Consumers should expect the repair to be performed free of charge.
