USA - Nissan Sentra recalled due to defective engine

Nissan is going to recall 13,737 2010-'11 Sentra compact sedans since the engine may stop running while the vehicle is in action.

NHTSA believe the Sentras were built from 22nd May to 8th July 2010. It’s understood they have a "machining irregularity".

"The bolt/washer surface on the positive battery terminal cable end may allow for a gap to occur in the contact area of the terminal. This can result in a voltage drop that may cause difficulty starting the vehicle and could cause damage to the engine control module. This issue can cause the engine to stop running while the vehicle is in motion at low speed with a difficult or no start, increasing the risk of a crash."

Nissan will swap the positive battery terminal cable end with a replacement. The recall is expected to begin on the 29th November. Nissan owners can contact them on (800) 647-7261.
