2008 INFINITI EX35 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Infiniti EX35 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the steering column on vehicles equipped with the power tilt/telescope option, where excessive play in the steering wheel or a complete loss of steering can develop, raising the risk of a crash. A related steering concern affects the upper bearing retainer in the steering column, which can fail and allow the wheel to feel loose or wander, making the vehicle unstable. On the airbag side, if the battery drains significantly while the ignition is left on without the engine running, the airbag control unit may incorrectly suppress the passenger airbag and leave it unavailable in a crash. There is also a lighting concern: the daytime running lamp bulbs may burn out earlier than expected, making the vehicle harder for other drivers and pedestrians to spot during daylight.
