The 2009 Infiniti M45 has 3 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
All three recalls address the same defect in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, and the recalls reflect ongoing efforts to address the problem across different vehicle populations and geographic zones. If this vehicle has not been serviced under these recalls, the passenger airbag remains a potential hazard to anyone seated in the front right seat.
