Thanks for response... This is helpful. Pls if anyone knows a simplified way to check address, pls provide a link or instructions as I'd feel better about this confirming the address for output #2 (at least for the first time).  Much appreciated.
As Coin-Keeper has suggested... importing your Master PUBLIC Key into Electrum is a relatively painless and safe way to check your addresses...

Just download Electrum from here: https://electrum.org/#download

Then create a "new" wallet -> Standard Wallet -> Use a hardware Device -> Connect the ledger then follow the prompts...

After it has created your addresses and opened the wallet, you can view the addresses using "View -> Show Addresses" and then click on the "Addresses" Tab... your Output #2 address should be showing under "Change" (Note: you may need to click the '>' symbol to get the Change section to expand)

Thanks for this, tried it and the output #2 address isnt on there

Have all the addresses been used for a transaction or have you done more than 20 transactions sent/recieved.
If any of these have happend then you'll have to reproduce more addresses from te console (these will be produced from your PUBLIC key, nothing will be done to your hardware wallet from this).
Use these commands and check again for the second output address:
wallet.storage.put('gap_limit', 70)
wallet.storage.write()


If this doesn't work, both you and OP can import your seeds into an offline and sand boxed computer (preferably one running a fresh OS) - but do not try this until you have exhausted all other options, it is a bit more riskier than leaving your coins on a ledger and it is unlikely your ledger has been hacked.
