CarRecallWatch- Component
- VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
- Problem
- 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."
- Risk
- 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.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
Some 2024 Nissan Sentra vehicles may have air bubbles in the windshield on the lower front driver's side. These bubbles can obscure the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which means an owner may have difficulty seeing it clearly and may not realize their vehicle is part of a safety recall. The windshield also does not meet the federal glazing materials safety standard.
The risk is indirect but real: if the VIN cannot be read, an owner may not recognize that their vehicle has an open recall, so the recall repair may not get done. That could increase the risk of injury, fire, or a crash.
Dealers will inspect the windshield and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. Nissan mailed owner notification letters on August 29, 2024. If you have questions, contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 and reference recall number PMA38. You can also check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
