2024 Nissan LEAF

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 LEAF.

Engine Electric

The 2024 Nissan LEAF is a compact electric hatchback built on Nissan’s dedicated EV platform, powered solely by an electric drivetrain. Across its lifespan the model has demonstrated a marked improvement in reliability, with the current year registering just four owner complaints and zero recalls—a stark contrast to the 251 complaints recorded at the peak of its history in 2019 and the single‑complaint low of its launch year, 2010. Situated toward the lower end of the 2010‑2025 complaint spectrum, the 2024 LEAF offers researchers a snapshot of a mature, increasingly dependable generation within the long‑running Leaf lineage.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the coolant at 125,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 125,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Nissan LEAF records just 4 complaints and zero recalls or investigations, placing it among the quietest model years in the generation. This follows a steep decline from the 2019 peak of 251 complaints and 5 recalls, through 2020 (158 complaints, 6 recalls) and 2021 (51 complaints, 4 recalls), indicating that the major issues that drove earlier spikes have largely been resolved. The only complaint areas noted for 2024 are “Unknown Or Other” and “Electrical System, Unknown Or Other,” with no crash or fire incidents, though the data does not specify root causes. Compared to the early years (2010–2012) that had low complaints but no recalls, the 2024 model benefits from a mature design with a similarly clean record. For a used EV buyer, the 2024 LEAF represents a low-risk choice with minimal reported federal concerns.
