Infiniti Qx50 Recalls

The INFINITI QX50 has 12 recalls covering the 2019–2024 model years, with the most serious being an engine bearing defect on 2019–2022 models where the bearings can fail, crack the engine block, and release hot oil that can ignite a fire under the hood. On 2023–2024 models, the driver's airbag inflator can absorb moisture and deploy improperly in a crash, reducing the protection it provides. The 2022 model year has a front passenger door latch that may have been installed incorrectly, preventing the door from auto-locking and allowing it to swing open in a crash.

The 2021 model year has two suspension and steering concerns: a front steering knuckle that can bend or break after hitting a curb, causing the steering wheel to go off-center or the wheel to separate from the vehicle entirely, and a rear axle housing with similar strength issues that can deform on impact and also lead to wheel separation.

On 2019 models, the passenger-side knee airbag cover can detach during deployment in very cold temperatures rather than splitting cleanly at its designed tear seam, sending the cover loose into the cabin. There is also a separate issue on 2019 models where the backup camera can fail to display an image when reversing. The 2020 model year has a tire and loading information label that may be printed illegibly, making it difficult to confirm correct tire size or load limits.
