The 2006 Infiniti FX35 has 5 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag, with the most serious being a Takata inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The remaining recalls stem from repair attempts that did not fully resolve the issue. In some cases, an incorrect replacement airbag was installed during a prior repair, meaning the bag may not unfold properly when it deploys in a crash and could tear or fail to inflate. A separate but related concern affects vehicles that received a replacement airbag cushion under an earlier recall: that cushion was folded incorrectly, which builds excess internal pressure during deployment and can cause the bag to tear, reducing its ability to protect the occupant.
