The 2007 Infiniti M45 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same critical defect: the front passenger airbag inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The three filings all address the same Takata airbag inflator issue affecting the front passenger side. When the airbag deploys, the inflator can burst apart rather than inflate the bag, turning its metal housing into fragments that can strike anyone seated in the front passenger seat. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for this defect across a broad range of vehicles and regions. Owners in high-humidity climates may face elevated risk, as moisture exposure is known to accelerate the breakdown of the inflator propellant over time, though all affected vehicles should be treated as potentially involved regardless of where they are registered.
