2025 Nissan Sentra recalls

Power train: driveline, driveshaft

NHTSA campaign 26V410000 · reported June 26, 2026 · Nissan North America, Inc. · 946 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Nissan Sentra vehicles. The front left-side driveshaft may not be fully seated in the continuously variable transmission (CVT) assembly, which can cause a transmission fluid leak and loss of drive power.

The fix
Dealers will inspect the front left driveshaft, and if necessary, replace the driveshaft and CVT assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 12, 2026.
