The 1997 Infiniti QX4 has 2 recalls, the more serious being a fuel filler tube that can corrode through and leak fuel near the engine during or shortly after refueling.
The second recall affects vehicles registered in northern and midwestern states where road salt is heavily used: the front strut housing can crack and pull away from its mounting point in the engine bay, which can affect steering control and front suspension integrity.

At a glance
What can fail
The fuel filler tube lacks adequate protective coating, allowing water and road salt to cause rust and corrosion. In severe cases, the tube can develop holes, leading to fuel leaks during or after refueling. Leaking fuel near an ignition source poses a fire risk.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the fuel filler tube assembly with a properly coated unit.
