Nissan Recalls Sentra Because Brake Lights Might Not Illuminate
More than 800,000 vehicles to get new brake light switch and protective component
Nissan Sentra models from the 2016 to 2019 model years are being recalled because the car’s rear brake lights may become inoperative because of contamination from grease used in other nearby components.
There is a risk of a rear-end crash if the brake lights don’t illuminate.

If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have one. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly.
