What's wrong?
The driver's seat cushion frame in the 2025 Nissan Sentra is the metal structure under the seat cushion. It connects the driver's seat to the seat track, which lets the seat move and lock into position. In NHTSA campaign 25V153, the issue is on Sentras with an affected manual driver's seat assembly.
The problem is a poor weld condition from the supplier. That weld is supposed to secure the outer side of the seat frame to the seat track. When the weld is not correct, the seat frame is not fully secured to the track. The seating system and seat belt anchorages depend on that connection holding the driver's seat firmly in place.
Before the failure is found, the driver can notice an abnormal noise from the seat assembly. The driver can also notice abnormal movement from the seat, especially when sitting down, adjusting position, or driving over bumps.

What's the safety risk?
An unsecured driver's seat can fail to restrain the driver properly during a crash, increasing injury risk. If the seat makes abnormal noise or moves in an unusual way, stop using that seating position and schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Nissan Sentra is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free driver's-side lower seat frame inspection.
- Schedule the lower seat frame assembly replacement if the inspection finds the driver's seat is not fully secured to the seat track.
- Bring Nissan's owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 25V153 and Nissan recall PMA45 when you call.
- Avoid driving if the driver's seat feels loose; ask the Nissan dealer what to do before moving the vehicle.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the driver's side lower seat frame assembly and replaces it if the seat frame is not fully secured to the outer side of the seat track. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, since the subject vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
