I recently got my Leaf stuck in the snow. It would have been trivial to pull it out with my 4x4, but I could not find the tow hook. There's a fitting in the front bumper, but the owner's manual does not mention it. The dealer said it would be with the spare wheel, but there's no spare. The owners manual says that "tow chains or cables must be attached only to main structural members of the vehicle". I can't find any; the air dam covers everything. Not helpful.
This is a 2016 Leaf SV with 30kWH battery. As far as I can tell, the earlier models, and the 2016 S model with 24kWH battery, take a hook part no. 511121KA0A which also fits the Altima, Quest, Rogue etc. The dealer also told me that number. I found one in a scrap yard in an Altima, but it does not fit - the thread is wrong. I believe this part uses a metric coarse M22 thread, while my car seems to have an M24 thread - a slightly larger bolt.
I was wondering if anyone knows if this is in fact correct (M24 thread), or the part number for a hook that fits, or whether anything for any other car would fit.
