The 2003 Infiniti Q45 has 2 recalls, both concerning the same issue: a wiring connector for the seat-mounted side airbags can develop high electrical resistance, causing the airbags to fail to deploy in a crash.
When this happens, the airbag warning light on the instrument panel may illuminate, but the more serious consequence is that the side airbags may not fire when needed, leaving occupants without that protection in a side-impact collision.
