Recall Alert: 2009 Nissan Sentra

By Stephen Markley

Nissan has issued a recall for 10,586 Sentra models from the 2009 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall affects those models equipped with Bosch master cylinders, which may leak brake fluid. If enough fluid leaks, the brake system warning indicator will light up because the brakes aren’t functioning properly. If one of the brake circuits fails, it will increase the vehicle’s stopping distance and the risk of a crash. No matter the car you drive, if a warning light goes on you should take it to be serviced immediately.

Dealers will inspect and replace the master cylinder brake booster assembly for free. Owners may contact Nissan at 800-647-7261 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
