The 2007 Infiniti FX35 has 4 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag, with the most serious risk being an inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
The three inflator recalls describe the same underlying defect and should be treated as one issue: the front passenger airbag inflator can explode rather than inflate normally, turning its housing into a source of metal shrapnel directed at anyone in the front passenger seat. The fourth recall affects vehicles that previously had the front passenger airbag assembly replaced under an earlier recall. In those cases, the replacement airbag cushion was folded incorrectly, which can cause it to tear during deployment and reduce the protection it provides in a crash.
