Known issues on the 1999 Sentra. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, all tied to aftermarket exterior lighting: replacement corner, bumper and headlight assemblies sold without the required amber side reflectors, which fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 and can leave the Sentra poorly illuminated, raising the risk of a crash without warning. Owners have filed 70 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the Sentra's lighting circuits and every other system are here.

Whether you're sorting out a lighting issue, chasing a GA16DE or SR20DE driveability concern, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct spec for your specific 1999 Sentra.
