What This Recall Means

Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER

What Happened
The brake master cylinder is a critical part in your Sentra's brake system. It helps you stop the vehicle by sending brake fluid to the right places. In some 2007-2008 models, the master cylinder may have a problem with the seal, causing brake fluid to leak into the brake booster.
Risk if Unfixed
If you ignore the warning light, one of your brake circuits could fail, making it harder to stop your vehicle. This increases the risk of a crash, which could put you and others in harm's way.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will check the master cylinder and brake booster for any signs of brake fluid leakage. If they find a leak, they'll replace the master cylinder at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
