What's wrong, in plain English

Some Ariya electric vehicles have inverter software that may incorrectly detect a short circuit. When that happens, the software shuts down the EV system, causing the vehicle to lose drive power.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Nissan dealer (1-800-867-7669) to schedule a software update.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V657000.
