The 2004 Infiniti FX35 has 5 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
The core defect affects the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator, which can build excessive internal pressure during deployment and burst apart. This issue has been documented across multiple filings, with one specifically flagging vehicles that have spent time in high-humidity regions such as Florida, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, where moisture exposure worsens the risk. There is also a separate concern for vehicles that already received a replacement airbag assembly under a prior repair: the replacement cushion may have been folded incorrectly, which can cause it to tear during deployment and reduce the protection it provides in a crash.
