							| Description | 
							Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 LEAF vehicles manufactured November 19, 2012, to July 31, 2015.

							| Corrective action | 
							Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Intelligent Brake Control Unit software, free of charge.  The recall began on March 28, 2016.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. |
