Thanks Dave etc,
I put the VIN number in to your recommended link and it does *not* come up
as a recall for the 46K Leaf cold brake failures *but* my 2013 Leaf has the
exact problem described also with the red ! lit dash indicator light as
described in the online article, said it was a software fix (new
brake-control download). The stealership said if I can't find the recall
for my VIN, then I'll have to pay $250 to come in + the fix (total about
$1K). I thought that a software update download was free?
Also thanks for the recommendation on the LED lights replacement for dim
headlights (that work above 9V). That sounds like the way to go.
Best Regards,
Mark

I'm not an expert on these matters, but as I understand it, "no longer a
recall" isn't a thing. Recalls don't expire. If your Leaf hasn't had the
recall, you should still be able to have it done until it's at least 15
years old.
Dealers don't like doing recall service. They get paid less for it than for
repairs they bill to a customer, so the sleazy ones will try to weasel out
of it. What this says about your dealer there will be left as an exercise
for the reader.
Have you called the Nissan number mentioned in the story? 800 647-7261
Or you could try another Nissan dealer.
You might also try going here and entering your VIN.

If the recall service has already been carried out on your car, and the
problem has recurred, then I don't know what your options would be. Others
may know.
