The 2000 Infiniti Q45 has 2 recalls, both concerning the 17-inch alloy wheels, which can develop cracks while driving and ultimately break apart from the hub, sharply raising the risk of a crash.
The wheels on certain vehicles contain a casting defect that allows cracks to spread over time under normal driving conditions. If enough cracks accumulate, the wheel can fail completely and separate from the vehicle.
