Nissan North America is recalling more 2023 Ariya hybrid EV models because the inverter software may misdiagnose an error, which can shut down the EV system, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power, according to documents made public this morning by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“All of these Ariya have been previously recalled under Recall 23V-657 (Nissan Ariya Inverter). Nissan Ariya vehicles that have received the reprogramming remedy for Recall 23V-657 no longer contain the issue and are not included in this recall,” Nissan claimed in the required NHTSA filing.

“Based on Nissan recall campaign completion records, the issue is present on certain Model Year 2023 Ariya vehicles that have not yet been repaired under the Recall 23V-657. This concern could potentially affect both 2WD and 4WD models. Due to the unique electric motor type utilized on the vehicle, this issue affects only Nissan Ariya. No other Nissan or INFINITI vehicles are affected,” Nissan said.
Dealers will inspect the vehicle’s inverter software version and update the software, if necessary, free of charge as required by US safety regulations. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed 9 September 2024. Owners may contact Nissan’s customer service at 1-800-867-7669 about R24A8. Owners may also contact NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 or go to www.nhtsa.gov about NHTSA 24V560.
