Nissan Sentra driveshaft may slip, causing rollaway risk

NHTSA campaign 26V410000 · Reported 2026-06-26 · Nissan North America, Inc.

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious, since you could lose power while driving or have the car roll away when parked, so always set the parking brake and get the free inspection done soon, though the notice does not say to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

The left front driveshaft, the rod that sends engine power to the front wheel, may not be pushed all the way into the transmission. It can work its way loose, leak transmission fluid, and leave the car without power to the wheels. Because the shaft is not fully locked in, the car may also roll away on its own when parked if you have not set the parking brake. Dealers will inspect and replace parts if needed.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your Sentra is covered by recall PMA68.
2. Contact your Nissan dealer for an inspection appointment, or call Nissan at 1-800-867-7669.
3. Until it is fixed, always use the parking brake; the inspection and any driveshaft or transmission work is free.
