The 2017 Infiniti QX30 has 8 recalls, the most serious being a steering shaft universal joint that can loosen over time and eventually separate, causing a complete loss of steering control.
The airbag recalls cover several distinct concerns. A broken clock spring combined with poor grounding in the steering components can allow static electricity to trigger the driver's frontal airbag to deploy without a crash, which can startle the driver and cause a collision. On the other end of the spectrum, both the driver-side curtain airbag and the passenger frontal airbag have separate recalls for inflator initiators that may fail to ignite in a crash, leaving those airbags undeployed when they are needed most. These airbag deployment failures affect specific production windows, so not every QX30 of this model year is covered by each filing.
