2017 INFINITI QX30 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 INFINITI QX30 has 8 recalls, the most serious being a steering shaft universal joint that can loosen and eventually separate, causing a complete loss of steering control. A second steering-related concern involves the driver's airbag deploying without a crash: if the clockspring breaks and the steering components lack sufficient electrical grounding, a static discharge can trigger the airbag unexpectedly, startling the driver and raising the risk of a crash. The remaining recalls all involve airbags that may fail to deploy when needed. The front passenger airbag inflator can fail to ignite in a crash, leaving the passenger without protection. Similarly, the driver-side curtain airbag may not deploy properly in a side impact, reducing head protection for the driver. Note that the steering shaft and unintended airbag deployment issues share some overlap with steering component grounding, so owners with any steering or airbag warning signs should treat those together.
