Buying a used 2025 Nissan Sentra? Check these 4 recalls first
This year's list is assembly-related: three high-severity recalls cover a driver's seat that may not be properly secured, doors that can open while driving, and a driveshaft that may slip and create a rollaway risk. A medium recall covers windshield air bubbles that can block vision. With only 30 complaints on file, the record is thin and scattered — unknown/other (6), power train, electrical system and tires (4 each) — but 6 of those unverified reports mention crashes and 3 mention injuries.
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.
- Rock the driver's seat fore-aft and side-to-side to check it is firmly secured to the floor.
- Confirm the door recall was performed and check that each door latches firmly and stays shut.
- Ask about the driveshaft recall, test that the car holds in Park on a slope, and inspect the windshield for bubbles.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
