Did Nissan stop supplying these at some point? I found one in the used 2014 I bought yesterday but there wasn't one in the jack compartment in my 2016 that I bought back in December.

What gives?
 
Yes, it seems that Nissan stopped including them during the 2015 production run. A friend has an early 2015 that came with one while my later production 2015 (manufactured 01/2015) did not include one from the factory.
 
Lame. This is likely a liability thing. The 2014 Roadside Assistance manual shows them, how to use them, the 2016 version of the manual disavows their use entirely. Morons. Off to eBay.
 
Here's the p/n, btw, they're available from a UK seller on eBay, even with shipping its half what you'd pay at the dealer.

I received this today from an eBay seller in Latvia, the part is a perfect fit on my son's 2014.

Yep mine is missing also. 2012 Leaf purchased 12/2011.
I was planning to pull out some shrubs today using the towing eye and chain. I ordered one from the eBay guy.

I called the local stealer and the parts bubba said "huh? Not seeing that on my screen and never heard of it"
Okey Dokey Artichokie or as they say in Persia, "Fahi ma Fahí"
 
Exactly! The part was there prior to 2013 but was deleted. I didn't want to be without it, so I bought them for my 2016 and 2014 (kids car), the one I linked to on eBay fits perfectly and was like 1/2 the price of the dealer part. I got myself a spare too, and a jack... :D
