Sounds like I might need to add the 2013 to my watch list! I live in Southetn California so are quite a few 4 bar loss 2011 as well as 3 bar loss 2012. Do you know if the 2013 gets the lizard battery as well?
Lizard battery didn't become available until 2015 model year: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17168.

"1. Those qualifying for a battery replacement under the capacity warranty will receive the latest battery chemistry and technology. ["In general, under the amended
agreement, vehicles entitled to a repair under the terms of the Lithium-ion Battery
Capacity Coverage provided by the Settlement Agreement will get a replacement
battery which incorporates ongoing improvements in battery chemistry. "]"

"The Amended Settlement removed Nissan’s option to repair, instead of replace, the battery. In other words, if your 2011 and/or 2012 Nissan LEAF™ experiences capacity loss below nine bars of capacity within 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first, and you bring your car to an authorized Nissan dealership, the dealer will replace the vehicle’s battery with the newly developed battery currently used in 2015 model year LEAF™ vehicles which is intended to make the battery more durable in extremely hot climates This warranty is limited by the existing terms in the Nissan New Electric Vehicle Limited Warranty."
Off the top of my head, I don't know for certain what Nissan would do on capacity warranty replacements on '13 and '14 Leafs.
