Known issues on the 2008 Sentra. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers Bosch master cylinders where a machining irregularity in the seal groove can let brake fluid slowly leak into the brake booster assembly, illuminating the brake warning lamp; if that warning is ignored, one of the brake circuits may not operate as designed, increasing the risk of a crash. A second, related recall covers Bosch master cylinders where brake fluid may leak below the minimum reservoir level, and if the warning lamp is continuously ignored one of the brake circuits may fail, increasing stopping distances and the risk of a crash. The third covers vehicles fitted with a Garmin nuvi 750 navigation unit, whose battery can overheat and result in a fire. Owners have filed 167 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a brake fluid leak at the master cylinder to a navigation unit inspection or routine service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2008 Sentra.
