2024 Sentra recalls (3)

Every NHTSA safety recall logged against the 2024 Sentra. A VIN check confirms whether any recall remains unrepaired on a specific vehicle.

  1. VISIBILITYNHTSA 24V498000Jul 1, 2024

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Nissan Sentra vehicles. The windshield may have air bubbles on the front lower driver's side, which can obscure the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 205, "Glazing Materials."

    Consequence: An owner who cannot see their VIN clearly may not recognize their vehicle is involved in a safety recall, and may not have the recall remedy performed, which could increase the risk of injury, fire, or a crash.

    Remedy

    Dealers will inspect and replace the windshield as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 29, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PMA38.

  2. POWER TRAINNHTSA 24V304000Apr 29, 2024

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Sentra vehicles. The front left-side driveshaft may not be fully seated in the continuously variable transmission (CVT) assembly, or may have a loose or missing retaining clip, which can cause a transmission fluid leak and loss of drive power.

    Consequence: An unexpected loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash.

    Remedy

    Dealers will inspect the front left driveshaft, and if necessary, replace the driveshaft and CVT assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 26, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PMA37.

  3. AIR BAGSNHTSA 24V154000Feb 27, 2024

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, Kicks, Infiniti QX50, and 2023 Rogue vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the driver's air bag inflator may absorb moisture, and cause the air bag to deploy improperly.

    Consequence: An air bag that deploys improperly may not protect the driver as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

    Remedy

    Dealers will replace the front driver's air bag assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are PD103, PD104, and PMA34.

Reliability verdict for the 2024 Nissan Sentra

With an 84/100 score against an 86/100 segment average, the 2024 Nissan Sentra lands slightly below the class norm. That points to generally solid reliability, but not a standout result within its peer set. As year five of its current generation, the data reflects a mature model cycle rather than an early run.

Issues are not evenly spread across the vehicle. Complaints show a clear concentration in steering, while powertrain and electrical concerns form a smaller secondary cluster and the remaining reports are scattered. The recall count is elevated enough to matter, suggesting more factory-corrected items than a minimal recall profile.

Overall, the Sentra presents moderate buyer risk relative to the segment.
