What's wrong?
The brake tube assembly on the 2023 Nissan Leaf is a metal brake line that carries brake fluid under pressure. On the right-hand side, that tube helps move fluid through the hydraulic brake system so the brakes respond when you press the pedal. The line has to stay sealed because the system depends on fluid pressure.
On affected Leafs, the right-hand brake tube was scratched or deformed during production. Nissan traced the problem to incorrect tooling that clamped the tube in the wrong position while it was being bent near the actuator connection. That damage can corrode over time, open a hole in the brake line, and let brake fluid leak out. With less fluid pressure, brake performance can drop and stopping distance can increase.
The warning sign Nissan identifies is a brake warning light on the combi meter, the instrument display behind the steering wheel. Nissan also found the condition can reach reduced braking with no warning sign before failure, so the light is not a dependable advance notice.

What's the safety risk?
A brake fluid leak can reduce braking performance, make the Leaf need more distance to stop, and increase crash risk. A brake light on the combi meter is the warning sign Nissan identified. Schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 Nissan Leaf is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free right-hand brake-tube inspection and replacement that addresses brake-fluid leaks and reduced braking performance.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V362 when you call.
- Avoid hard braking and leave extra following distance until the dealer completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the right side brake tube and replaces it if the inspection shows damage or corrosion. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered now. Out of pocket brake tube repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the subject vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
