Nissan Ariya may lose drive power from software glitch
high How serious is it? About this label
Suddenly losing drive power in traffic can cause a crash, and although the notice does not tell owners to park the car, you should get the update done promptly.
What's wrong, in plain English
The Ariya's inverter is the part that sends power from the battery to the electric motor. Its software may read a problem that is not really there. When that happens, the system can shut itself down and the car loses drive power, so it stops pulling and you cannot accelerate. This can happen while you are driving, including in traffic. The fix is a software update, so the dealer checks the version and reloads it if needed.
What you should do
2. Contact a Nissan dealer, or call Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, and mention recall R24A8.
3. Have the dealer check and update the inverter software — it is free.
