Buying a used 2024 Nissan Sentra? Check these 3 recalls first
The tie-rod recalls of earlier years don't appear here; instead there are two high-severity items — a driver airbag that may deploy improperly and a front driveshaft that can slip and cause power loss — plus a low-severity windshield bubble defect that obscures the VIN. Complaint volume is small at 38, spread across steering (10), power train (9), electrical system (8) and suspension (8). Six of those unverified owner reports involve crashes and five involve injuries; none report fires.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the airbag and driveshaft recalls are closed for this VIN.
- Accelerate from a stop and again at speed, listening for clunks or any loss of drive.
- Inspect the windshield for bubbles or distortion and confirm the VIN is readable through it.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
