Nissan Recalls Nearly 42,000 Model-Year 2025 Sentras Over Windshield Defect
Air bubbles found inside the windshields of new Nissan Sentras sold in the U.S. have raised safety concerns—here’s what owners need to know.
Nissan has announced a large-scale recall of the 2025 Sentra due to a defect in the windshield. The issue stems from air bubbles forming inside the glass, a flaw that could compromise safety.
The recall affects nearly 42,000 vehicles built between July 5 and October 17, 2025. The problem involves air pockets trapped within the laminated layer of the windshield. Depending on where they appear and how large they are, these imperfections can violate FMVSS 205 safety standards. Experts warn that reduced visibility from such defects could increase the risk of a crash.
Nissan says the issue was discovered during a routine quality-control check, after which the company conducted a deeper investigation. Engineers traced the problem to the glass manufacturing process. While there have been no reported injuries or accidents related to the defect, Nissan opted to take preventive action rather than wait for incidents to occur.
Owners of affected vehicles are advised to visit their local dealership to have the windshield replaced. Nissan notes that the repair will be performed quickly and at no cost to customers.
