NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2016 INFINITI QX60 has 2 recalls, the more serious affecting hybrid models: a software fault in the hybrid powertrain control module can shut down the engine and electric drive system without warning, cutting power while the vehicle is moving. The second recall involves the passenger seat's occupant classification sensor, which detects whether the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult. If the sensor misreads the seat, the front passenger airbag may not deploy correctly in a crash, leaving the occupant without full protection.
