The 2007 Infiniti FX45 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side front airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The inflator defect is a Takata airbag issue affecting a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem for all affected vehicles. A separate recall covers FX45 models that previously had their front passenger airbag assembly replaced under an earlier recall: the replacement airbag cushion was folded incorrectly, which raises internal pressure during deployment and can cause the cushion itself to tear. A torn airbag cushion deploys with reduced effectiveness, meaning it may not adequately protect the passenger in a crash.
