What Happened
The front left driveshaft in your Nissan Sentra is like a long rod that connects the transmission to the wheels. In some 2025 models, it might not be fully locked into place.
Risk if Unfixed
If the driveshaft isn't fully engaged, you could lose power while driving and struggle to stay in control. If you're not parked on a slope, this could also cause your vehicle to roll away if you don't engage the parking brake.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will check the driveshaft and replace it, along with the CVT assembly, if needed, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
