ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus?
The 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus has not been subjected to federal crash testing, leaving a gap in its safety profile. Despite this, its owner-reported complaint volume remains relatively low, with 124 unverified reports and zero NHTSA recalls. The electrical system accounts for 73 of these complaints, a significant concentration given its integral role in an electric vehicle's propulsion and charging. The Fuel/Propulsion System category, covering the drive battery and motor, adds 14 further allegations. Four complaints are classified as crash-related and two as fire-related; however, no recall actions have been initiated based on these reports. While sibling years (2022-2025 Leaf) show Safety Index scores between 87 and 91, these ratings cannot be applied to the untested 2019 model.
