Nissan is recalling certain Sentra vehicles where the brake light switch may become contaminated, preventing the circuit from closing and the brake lights from illuminating.
The redesigned Sentra comes with a standard front crash prevention system that earns a superior rating in the Institute’s vehicle-to-vehicle evaluation and an advanced rating in the vehicle-to-pedestrian test.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Nissan's enhanced 2020 Sentra will retail for at least $20,015 when it goes on sale in late January, which is $510 more than the comparable base 2019 model.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded the 2018 Nissan Kicks and 2018 and 2019 Sentra with its Top Safety Pick award when the cars are equipped with specific features.
Nissan's 2019 Sentra is adding a revamped NissanConnect infotainment system with Apple CarPlay on most models, and will retail for $800 more than the 2018 model, Nissan has announced.
Nissan's Sentra compact sedan adds enhancements for 2018 including automatic emergency braking and a back-up camera and will retail for $17,875, which is unchanged from 2017.
The safety feature will be offered as standard equipment on 2018 Rogue, Altima, Murano, Leaf, Pathfinder, Maxima and Sentra models.
Set to begin June 11, the recall covers more than 25,000 vehicles in the 2014 to 2017 model years.
Nissan's base model 2017 Sentra will retail for $18,825, which represents a $360 increase from the outgoing model, NIssan has announced. Nissan is adding the SR turbo model for 2017.
