Expert Reply:

It appears the Curt Receivers # C11396 & # C49VV are the same but utilize different hardware for mounting. I reached out to Curt who verified the CAD drawings for both receivers looked identical with similar measurements. I do recommend holding your current Receiver # C11396 up on your 2018 Nissan Leaf to verify all the hitch holes do line up. If everything is good you can order the Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK for the Receiver # C49VV.
