Infiniti Q50 recalls in Canada

Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

2021 Infiniti Q50 Recall 2021483 4 Aug 2021 247 units in Canada

Visual System

Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the navigation screen/multifunction control touch screen not to work when the vehicle is started. If this happens, the rearview camera image will not appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. Note: This can happen if the "privacy mode" feature is activated and the vehicle is not started in the following 14 days. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Infiniti will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the telematics control unit (TCU).

2021 Infiniti Q50 Recall 2021334 28 May 2021 191 units in Canada

Steering

Issue: On certain vehicles, the front steering knuckles may not have been properly heat-treated. As a result, a strong impact (such as hitting a curb) could cause a steering knuckle to bend or break. If this happens, the steering wheel may become off-center or there could be a loss of steering control and a wheel could separate. Safety Risk: A loss of steering control and/or a wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle. Corrective Actions: Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the production date on the casting stamp of the front steering knuckles. Parts that are affected by this problem will be replaced.

2021 Infiniti Q50 Recall 2021202 5 Apr 2021 913 units in Canada

Issue: On certain vehicles, a programming error in the engine control module (ECM) could cause loss of engine power and/or cause the engine to stall.

Corrective Actions: Infiniti will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the ECM software.

Visual System

Issue: On certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse.

Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on. Safety Risk: Reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.

Seats And Restraints

On certain vehicles, a defect in the occupant classification system could allow an adult sitting in the front passenger seat to be classified as a child or an “empty seat”. This would suppress the airbag, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: For affected Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue and Sentra vehicles, dealers will reprogram the airbag control unit and the occupant classification system control unit. For affected Leaf, NV200, Pathfinder, Q50 and JX35/QX60 vehicles, dealers will replace the occupant classification system electronic control unit.

Airbag

On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant classification system software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. If this occurs, the passenger airbag would be deactivated without the illumination of the airbag warning lamp. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system. This is an expansion of recall 2014-093.

Powertrain

On certain hybrid vehicles, the transmission housing may have been damaged during manufacturing. This could allow a crack in the housing to form, and could eventually result in a transmission housing fracture, which would result in debris being spread onto the roadway, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the transmission assembly if cracks are found during inspection.

2014 Infiniti Q50 Recall 2014415 23 Sep 2014 511 units in Canada

Powertrain

On certain hybrid vehicles, a defect in engine control module programming could cause a gradual throttle increase without driver input, which could cause vehicle speed to increase. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software. Note: Applying the brake would allow the vehicle to be slowed or stopped.

Powertrain

On certain hybrid models, an error in communication between the electric motor inverter and the transmission control module could cause the electric motor to stop functioning when the vehicle is operated in electric-only mode, causing a loss of motive power and illuminating the warning lamp. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software.

Steering

On certain vehicles equipped with Direct Adaptive Steering (steer-by-wire), cold weather operation could cause the system to malfunction on startup, and delay the engagement of the mechanical backup system. This would result in a loss of steering, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Direct Adaptive Steering module.
