Safety Recall Announced for 2025 Nissan Sentra
Nissan has issued a new safety recall covering 41,797 units of the 2025 Sentra after discovering that some windshields may contain visible air bubbles that violate federal safety standards. These air bubbles could hinder outward visibility, thus increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, these bubbles may fall outside the acceptable limits defined by FMVSS 205, which prohibits imperfections extending more than 13 mm from the edge of the glass. The issue affects cars built between July 5 and October 17, 2025.
How the Problem Was Discovered
The issue initially surfaced during a routine yard audit in August 2025 at Nissan’s Aguascalientes A2 plant in Mexico. A technician noticed bubbles within the glass and laminate layers on the front windshield of a Nissan Sentra, leading to the vehicle in question being quarantined and an investigation being initiated with the windshield supplier.
Over the next couple of months it was discovered that the bubbles were being caused by foreign particles getting trapped between the layers of the windshield during the manufacture process, resulting in separation of the glass and laminate layers. The root cause of this delamination was finally traced to misaligned locator pins within the glass molds, which prevented proper air evacuation during assembly and allowed foreign particles to create the bubble-type delamination.

What Owners Need to Know
Nissan dealers will inspect affected vehicles and replace the windshields as required. The repair is said to take about two-and-a-half hours, and will be undertaken at absolutely no cost to owners. Dealers have already been notified about this issue, while Nissan will start reaching out to owners of all potentially affected vehicles from January 2026. If you think that your Sentra might be among those affected, you can verify this by running your VIN through Nissan’s recall lookup system, which has already been updated with this issue.
