2003 INFINITI FX35 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2003 Infiniti FX35 has 10 recalls, the most serious involving passenger airbags that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, loose brake calipers that can separate and cause brake failure, and propeller shaft bolts that can come loose and allow a shaft to detach from the vehicle. The airbag concern spans two related issues: the original inflator defect, which primarily affects vehicles registered in high-humidity regions like Florida and Hawaii, and a follow-up issue where a replacement airbag cushion was folded incorrectly during a prior repair, meaning the fix itself may not have held. In a crash, either condition can reduce airbag performance or increase injury risk. On the drivetrain side, the propeller shaft bolt problem is covered across two filings describing the same defect, and a detached shaft raises the risk of a crash. Lighting recalls cover three visibility concerns: rear stop, tail, and turn signal lamps that may be too dim at certain angles, a rear combination lamp assembly that did not meet output standards, and headlamps that fall short of required photometric values. There is also a minor compliance recall involving a child seat tether anchor cover where an embossed symbol is slightly smaller than required by regulation.
