What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 Nissan Sentra vehicles built between April 11, 2016 and April 26, 2016 may have a wiring problem in the engine room harness. A terminal pin on the harness may be too large to maintain a proper connection with the Engine Control Unit (ECU), the computer that manages the engine.
If the harness loses its connection to the ECU, the vehicle may fail to start or the engine may stall while driving. A sudden loss of engine power increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will replace the terminal pin on the engine room harness free of charge. Owners can call Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 for more information, and can check their VIN for open recalls to confirm whether their vehicle is included.
