Nissan needs to act fast to address the latest Leaf problem -- a failure to restart. It's still unclear how many cars are affected, but for many a tow truck has been the only option.

The recall covers the Nissan Murano SUV from 2015 through 2018, and Maxima sedans from 2016 through 2018. Also included are Infiniti QX60 and Nissan Pathfinder SUVs from 2017 through 2019.
