What's wrong, in plain English
Nissan is recalling certain Sentra vehicles because the front left driveshaft may not be properly seated in the transmission. This can cause a transmission fluid leak and a loss of drive power. It can also allow the vehicle to roll away on its own if the parking brake is not set, since the driveshaft is not fully connected.
What you should do
2. Contact a Nissan dealer to have the driveshaft inspected (Nissan customer service: 1-800-867-7669).
3. Any necessary repair, including replacement of the driveshaft or transmission assembly, is free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
