The 2007 Infiniti FX35 has 4 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag — the most serious being a Takata inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, risking serious injury or death.
The passenger airbag inflator concern is the same underlying defect across multiple filings, so it is effectively one issue: the inflator can explode rather than inflate the bag in a controlled way, scattering sharp metal shards toward anyone seated in the front passenger seat or nearby. This is among the most serious defect types seen in modern vehicles, and the FX35 falls within the broad range of Nissan and Infiniti models affected.
There is also a fourth recall tied specifically to vehicles that already received a replacement front passenger airbag assembly under a prior repair. In those cases, the replacement airbag cushion was folded incorrectly during assembly, which builds excessive pressure inside the bag when it deploys. That pressure can tear the cushion, causing it to perform poorly in a crash and raising the risk of occupant injury rather than reducing it. This means a repair meant to fix the inflator problem may have introduced a separate issue with the bag itself, so owners who had prior repair work done should verify whether this additional recall also applies to their vehicle.
