For HE12 e-POWER HR12DE vehicles used under Nissan severe-condition criteria, Nissan reduces the engine-oil and oil-filter interval from 15,000 km / 12 months to 7,500 km / 6 months.
Applies only under Nissan severe-condition criteria; normal-use interval remains longer.Manufacturer source ↗Replace the engine oil, and the oil filter when due, at 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use, whichever comes first.
Under Nissan severe-condition use, the interval is 7,500 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. The HE12 e-POWER uses the HR12DE generator engine.Manufacturer source ↗Service the e-POWER inverter cooling circuit using the production-period-specific quantity and approved coolant/procedure.

This is a fitment/service reference, not a replacement interval. Confirm production period and headlamp system.Manufacturer source ↗Use the HE12 production-period-specific engine coolant quantity and manufacturer-specified coolant/service procedure.
Nissan states replacement timing should be checked in the maintenance note; no interval is inferred here.Manufacturer source ↗No published maintenance interval yet.
Nissan recalled affected Note e-POWER and other vehicles because the protector on the generator-engine blow-by hose was too short, allowing the uncovered hose surface to deteriorate and crack over time.
Official Nissan recall lists DAA-HE12 Note e-POWER chassis HE12-000043 through HE12-422955, produced 2016-08-25 through 2020-10-06. Nissan notes that some vehicles within the listed chassis range may not be affected; dealer/chassis confirmation is required.Official campaign source ↗No reviewed campaign mapped yet.
