What is an Infiniti Recall?
Infiniti is Nissan’s luxury marque, known for driver-centric design, innovation, and refined performance across sedans and SUVs. Yet even premium brands face defects. When a safety defect or regulatory noncompliance is found, Infiniti or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues a recall, so owners receive free inspections and repairs.
Verifying your status is simple: enter your VIN on Infiniti’s recall check by Detailed Vehicle History, then book service to resolve risks and preserve your vehicle’s value.

Common Issues Leading to Infiniti Recall
Infiniti vehicles have faced several recalls due to safety and reliability concerns. Common issues include engine failures, airbag defects, brake defects, and any other notable issues.
Below are some of the causes behind the Infiniti recall notices.
Engine Failure
Engine Failure Due To Faulty Bearings
In July 2025, Nissan filed a recall covering more than 443.000 vehicles, after finding faulty engine bearings in VC-Turbo engines. This recall affected not only Infiniti models but also some Nissan models, such as Infiniti QX50 (2019–2022) and QX55 (2022), plus Nissan Rogue (2021–2024) and Altima (2019–2020).
Over time, the parts can wear, release metal, and the engine may lose power or fail. Owner letters began in late August 2025.
Engine Stalling
Multiple Infiniti recalls related to engine stalling have been issued over the years, each with a different cause. The most recent and significant recall, which could lead to engine failure, was announced in 2025. One of them is linked to the VC-Turbo engines, which have been explained before.
Separate from the VC-Turbo story, Infiniti issued two recalls in 2021. The first one is because the supplier’s manufacturing error caused the fuel pump’s impeller to swell and bind, which could cut off the fuel supply to the engine and cause a stall. Affect some 2020–2021 Infiniti QX80 models.
And another 2021 recall was issued due to rapid acceleration; the engine control module (ECM) software could over-reduce fuel, causing an engine stall (the car may restart). Affecting some 2021 Infiniti Q50 and Q60 models, for the remedy, the manufacturer will reprogram the ECM at no cost.
Engine Failure In Hybrid Models
In 2021, the manufacturer recalled 2014–2017 QX60 Hybrid vehicles because the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) software could shut down the hybrid system and engine, causing a sudden loss of drive power. This recall also included the 2014–2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid and 2015–2016 Nissan Murano Hybrid.
Separately, the 2012–2013 M35 Hybrid was recalled for an overheating condition that could cut the engine. Dealers will reprogram the hybrid control module, automatic transmission control unit, and inverter software free of charge.
Airbag Defects
Takata Airbag
NHTSA and Infiniti issued a “Do Not Drive” alert for older models with unrepaired Takata airbags because, in hot or humid climates, the propellant inside some Takata inflators breaks down. In a crash, the inflator can rupture, sending shrapnel into the cabin.
Impacted models include the 2002–2003 Infiniti QX4 (plus certain Nissan Sentra/Pathfinder). Repairs, towing, and even mobile service are free. Do an Infiniti Recall Check by VIN and book the fix immediately.
Brake Defects
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Actuator Issues
Infiniti broadened an ABS recall in late 2019 to cover select 2017–2019 QX60 after finding brake fluid leaks inside the ABS actuator. That leak may trigger the ABS light, and if ignored, could cause an electrical short and fire risk. Infiniti retailers inspect serial numbers and replace the actuator for free.
Faulty Front Brake Calipers Issues
An Infiniti recall was issued in March 2025 for 2025 Infiniti QX60 SUVs (plus some of 2025 Nissan Murano and Pathfinder) because a supplier batch of front brake calipers may be too weak and break. Stopping distances can grow, and crash risk rises.
Dealers will inspect lot codes and replace calipers free. Do an Infiniti Recall Check by VIN to confirm and book service
Other Notable Issues
Loose Or Missing Seat Belt Components
In March 2024, the manufacturer found that some 2024 Infiniti QX60 SUVs and 2024 Nissan Pathfinders had a missing rivet in the left-front lap belt pretensioner. In a crash, the belt may not tighten as designed, raising injury risk.
Rear Visibility
Infiniti recalled multiple 2018–2019 models (Q50, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX60, QX80) because rear-camera/display settings could be adjusted so the image stayed too dim or blank the next time you shifted to Reverse, violating FMVSS 111. Dealers reprogram the rear-visibility system for free.
Understanding the Infiniti Recall Process
The NHTSA begins the recall process by investigating reported issues. If a defect is found, the manufacturer must issue a recall. See the steps of their process below.
Report the Problem
If you spot a safety issue, file a complaint with NHTSA. They log it to your VIN and look for patterns across other Infiniti owners. If multiple similar reports signal the same safety defect, it may trigger a formal investigation.
Investigation
Once a complaint is submitted, the NHTSA follows a multi-step process to determine whether a recall is necessary.
- Screening: Complaints from vehicle owners are examined for credibility and evidence to decide if further investigation is justified
- Analysis: Defect petitions are reviewed in detail. If denied, the decision and reasoning are publicly posted in the Federal Register.
- Investigate the Issues: When a defect is confirmed, Infiniti issues a recall, and NHTSA monitors owner notices, repairs, and completion rates.
- Recall Management: NHTSA ensures owners are notified and monitors repair completion rates.
Recalls
A recall is a formal notice that something isn’t safe or compliant. The manufacturer must alert owners and provide a remedy, usually at no cost. That can mean a repair, a replacement, a refund, or, in rare cases, a buyback.
How Infiniti Vehicle Recalls Are Handled?
When a safety issue occurs in an Infiniti, three key groups are involved in the recall process: the manufacturer/ automaker, NHTSA, and you, as the vehicle owner. They work together to detect defects, notify drivers, and ensure repairs are completed to keep vehicles safe.
Automaker Role
When a safety defect is confirmed, Nissan (the automaker for the Infiniti brand) investigates the defect, reports to NHTSA, defines the fix, and notifies Infiniti owners. By rule, the remedy is no-cost, and parts availability must be managed.
NHTSA’s Role
NHTSA sets safety standards, collects complaints, and when needed, pushes investigations that lead to Infiniti recalls. Once Nissan (the automaker for the Infiniti brand) launches a recall, NHTSA’s Recall Management Division reviews the remedy plan, owner letters, and tracks completion so fixes actually happen.
Your Role as the Vehicle Owner
Owners are often the first to spot defects. When something feels unsafe, report it to NHTSA. They look for trends that can lead to an Infiniti recall. Then track your vehicle and schedule the free fix through Infiniti’s portal. This complaint-to-repair path is the backbone of the many 2024–2025 recall processes.
After your repair, save the work order and check your VIN again to confirm closure. If service is delayed, monitor NHTSA’s site for campaign updates and parts availability, and stay in touch with your retailer. Your vigilance speeds safer roads for everyone.

FAQ about Infiniti Recalls Check
Are Infiniti recall repairs free, and how do I claim them?
Yes. Safety recalls on Infiniti vehicles are free (parts and labor) by federal rule, regardless of warranty or ownership history.
Claim your fix in three steps:
- Run an Infiniti Recall Check by Detailed Vehicle History with VIN or your license plate
- Confirm and schedule repair with an authorized Infiniti dealer,
- Complete the repair, and keep the work order for your records.
If you previously paid for the same defect, ask about reimbursement under the recall.
Is it safe to drive my Infiniti before the recall is fixed?
Some recalls allow cautious driving until repaired; others don’t. If your recall includes a “Do Not Drive” warning (for example, older Takata-airbag vehicles), do not drive at all! Risk of serious injury or death exists.
Infiniti/Nissan and NHTSA advise parking outside and arranging free towing to the retailer for repair notice, including the “Do Not Drive” warning.
What if I bought a used Infiniti? Will I still get recall notices?
Yes, you can still get recall repairs even on a used Infiniti. The recall repair is free, regardless of the vehicle’s age. However, you might not automatically get recall notices because manufacturers struggle to track down subsequent owners. State registration records help, but if the previous owner didn’t update their info, you could miss out.
To check if your Infiniti has an open recall, use the VIN (or license plate) to check on the Infiniti recall check by Detailed Vehicle History. If you discover an open recall, head to a certified Infiniti dealership for a free repair.
Do Recalls Expire, Or Can An Old Infiniti Still Get Fixed For Free?
Safety recalls don’t “expire,” but the free repair obligation generally applies to vehicles up to 15 years from first retail sale. Older Infinitis may still be repaired as goodwill, but it isn’t guaranteed. Check your VIN, book an authorized retailer, and keep your work order for records.
Can A Dealer Sell A Used Infiniti With An Open Safety Recall?
Yes. There’s no federal ban on selling a used Infiniti with an open safety recall. The federal prohibition applies to new vehicles only. Many dealers disclose and fix recalls, yet some list vehicles while waiting for parts.
Protect yourself: check your Infiniti VIN, confirm remedy/parts status, and request the repair or negotiate price before signing.
What Should I Do If Parts Aren’t Available Yet For My Infiniti Recall?
Tell your Infiniti retailer you have an open recall with no parts and ask to:
- Add you to the priority list,
- Provide ETA updates and a case number,
- Confirm loaner/towing options if the notice limits driving.
Keep notes of dates, names, and promises. Re-check your VIN weekly. If safety risk increases or communication stalls, file with NHTSA.

Will an open Infiniti recall affect resale value, insurance, or registration?
Resale: An unrepaired recall signals risk, so resale value usually drops until you show proof of the free remedy.
Insurance: No automatic premium change, but claim outcomes can be tougher if you ignore safety guidance.
Registration: Typically still approved; some states just add an advisory.
Action plan: Run your VIN (or license plate) on the Infiniti recall check by Detailed Vehicle History, book the free repair, and attach the repair receipt to your listing.
What’s the difference between a safety recall, a service campaign, and a TSB?
Recall (mandatory): NHTSA or the manufacturer confirms a safety defect or noncompliance; Infiniti/Nissan must provide a no-cost remedy and report progress.
Service campaign (voluntary): Infiniti/Nissan proactively addresses a non-safety concern (comfort, durability, customer goodwill). Owners are invited for a free fix, often within set dates/mileage.
TSB (dealer guidance): A bulletin that teaches technicians how to fix a known condition. It’s informational (not a recall), and owner payment depends on warranty or policy coverage.
Can I get reimbursed if I already paid for an Infiniti repair that became a recall?
Often yes. When a repair you paid for matches the exact defect later covered by an Infiniti/Nissan recall, you can usually request reimbursement. See below for the details to get your reimbursement:
- Confirm the match: Run your VIN and read the recall; your past repair must address the same defect.
- Gather the document: Original invoice, proof of payment, date/mileage, parts used (OEM preferred), shop details.
- Submit: Follow the reimbursement section in Infiniti/Nissan’s owner letter (mail/online), or ask your retailer/Infiniti Consumer Affairs for the channel.
- Track it: Keep copies and the campaign number.
