Heading 1: Nissan Sentra Recall: What You Need to Know

If you’re the owner of a 2022 Nissan Sentra, you may soon be receiving some bad news from the car manufacturer. Nissan has announced that 230 units of the Sentra model are being recalled in the United States due to a seal fault. The impacted Sentra models have a missing or improper seal in the driver-side cowl area, which could lead to water intrusion during periods of heavy rain. This could result in an increased risk of corrosion of electrical components, leading to potential safety hazards for drivers and passengers.

Heading 2: The Risks of Corrosion in Electrical Components

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for the affected Nissan Sentra models. If corrosion develops in the main body harness to engine room harness connector, it could trigger an electrical short circuit and/or thermal damage to the connector. This could result in a range of issues, including inoperative washer motors, VDC, tail lamps, hazard lights, reverse lights, and airbags. Other potential issues include the tail lamps remaining illuminated, a malfunction indicator light being displayed, the engine not starting, acceleration issues, or owners may even be able to start the engine or change gears without applying the brake pedal. In some cases, a fire could also be triggered by the short circuit.

Heading 3: Recall Details and Resolution

All 230 Nissan Sentra models involved in the recall were manufactured between September 21, 2022 and September 27, 2022. Nissan has already started notifying dealerships of the recall as of June 14, 2023, and all owners will be informed from July 26. To resolve the issue, dealers will reseal the driver-side cowl seal and inspect the main body harness to engine room harness connector for signs of moisture or corrosion. If needed, the main harness and engine room harness will be replaced to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
