Recall 24V498 affects 1,608 2024 Nissan Sentra vehicles for windshield bubbles that obscure the VIN. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
Nissan is recalling 1,608 2024 Sentra sedans under recall 24V498 because air bubbles in the lower driver's-side windshield can obscure the VIN. If the VIN is not clearly visible, an owner can miss a safety recall and go without the repair, increasing the risk of injury, fire, or a crash; Nissan dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The windshield on the 2024 Nissan Sentra is laminated safety glass at the front of the passenger compartment. It helps protect occupants from wind and road debris, gives the driver a clear forward view, and leaves the VIN visible through the lower driver's side area.
On affected Sentras, a supplier fixture put uneven pressure on the glass layers while they were being bonded. That trapped air between the glass and the PVB layer, the clear plastic layer that helps laminated glass hold together. After heat exposure, the trapped air can expand into visible bubbles in the lower driver's side of the windshield. Those bubbles can obscure the VIN, which means the vehicle does not meet the glazing requirement tied to VIN visibility.
There is a visible warning sign before the issue is found: bubbles in the lower driver's side windshield area. If you see that bubbling, use those words when you contact a Nissan dealer about the recall repair.

Not every 2024 Nissan Sentra sedan is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
If windshield bubbles obscure the VIN, an owner can miss that this Sentra is included in a safety recall. That delay can leave the remedy undone and keep the injury, fire, or crash risk unresolved. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Nissan Sentra is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free windshield inspection and replacement that clears the blocked VIN area.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V498 and Nissan recall PMA38 when you call.
- Ask the dealer to confirm that the VIN is clearly visible through the windshield after the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the windshield for air bubbles that affect VIN visibility and replaces the windshield if needed. The inspection, replacement, parts, and labor are free under the recall. Nissan is not offering a separate reimbursement program because the affected vehicles are under warranty. If you already paid for a related windshield repair, ask the Nissan service desk how the existing warranty applies to that prior work.
