2010 NISSAN SENTRA; 2011 NISSAN SENTRA
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nissan is recalling certain 2010-2011 Sentra vehicles with MR20 engines manufactured between May 11-22, 2010, and July 8-October 25, 2010. These vehicles have a positive battery terminal with a zinc coating that is thicker than intended, which can create a voltage drop and potentially cause difficulty starting the vehicle or damage to the engine control module.
The thicker coating can cause the engine to stall while driving, and the engine may not restart after stalling, increasing crash risk. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the positive battery terminal and cover at no charge. The recall began January 23, 2012. Affected consumers should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
