Has anyone received the Nissan software/bracket email? I keep reading of many people receiving an email to take their vehicles in for a software udpate and some with a bracket addition. I have not received any email nor has carwings told me (many people were saying the car told them as well). I wonder if they are doing a staggard roll-out. Has anyone here in DFW go the email/message?
Are you talking about the recall?
Here is what I got last night:
Shay, Nissan is committed to providing the highest level of product quality and customer satisfaction. With that in mind, we want to bring to your attention important information regarding your Nissan LEAF™.
REASON FOR CAMPAIGN
Nissan continually improves product performance through ongoing enhancements. Based on the production date of your LEAF vehicle, Nissan would like to offer a complimentary update of the vehicle software. Nissan has added an additional driver-convenience alert designed to notify the driver if their door is opened while the vehicle is still in the "ON" or "READY" mode, and the shift selector is not in "P."
In addition, Nissan has improved the accuracy of the distance-to-empty estimate when using a smartphone or other Internet device through CARWINGS™. The software update also includes various enhancements to, among other things, CARWINGS connectivity, information displays, HVAC operation, and diagnostic systems.
WHAT NISSAN WILL DO
To assure your continued satisfaction and confidence in your car, your EV-certified Nissan Dealer will update the software at no cost for parts and labor at a time and location that best meet your needs. Typically performed at your Nissan EV Dealer, the update can also be completed by an EV-certified technician at your home or place of business, provided there is a suitable and safe work area. Please discuss with your Nissan EV Dealer regarding timing and location.
In support of this software update, a new owner's manual will also be provided.
