What Happened
The engine room harness in your Sentra is a complex network of wires that helps your car start and run. In some 2016 models, a small but crucial connection point might not fit properly, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If this connection fails, your car might not start when you turn the key, or the engine could stall while you're driving. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty connection with a new one at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and it will be done for free.
