I took a look at the Nissan Leaf Warranty Information Booklet and could not find specific information regarding a trailer hitch. These types of details are often left vague, so to be certain you should call your Nissan dealer to find out if Curt hitch # C11396 will void the warranty.

Speaking of warranties, should you end up with the Curt hitch, you would need to use stabilizing straps # 18050 in order not to void the warranty of the hitch. They are not difficult to use and I've added a link to a video demonstrating that. I've also added a link to a video of a hitch being installed on a 2017 Leaf so you can see how the process works.
