Nissan is recalling 2022 Sentra vehicles with potential driver-side cowl corrosion causing electrical failures, airbag issues, or fire risks. Owners must contact Nissan by July 26, 2023 for free repairs.
Corrosion of the electrical components could result in failure of various electrical systems, such as loss of wiper motor function or exterior lighting, inoperative air bags, or the ability to shift into gear without applying the brake pedal. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash. In addition, an electrical short-circuit may occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
Nissan is recalling certain 2022 Sentra vehicles because water leaking into the driver's side cowl can corrode electrical components. This may cause loss of wiper function, lighting, airbag failure, or gear shifting issues without braking. The risk of a crash or fire is possible if corrosion occurs.
