Infiniti QX60 recalls
Risk: A broken front brake caliper can cause a loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: An unsecured lap belt pretensioner will not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: An air bag that deploys improperly may not protect the driver as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: Incorrectly adjusted headlights can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: An unsecured seat with broken welds may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: A seat that becomes stuck or fails to lock in a secured position may not properly restrain the occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Risk: A missing mounting bolt may allow the seat track to move during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: The steering knuckle or rear axle could deform upon impact, such as from hitting a curb, resulting in a loss of steering control, or possible wheel separation. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Risk: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Risk: If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Risk: If the primary hood latch is released and the secondary latch fails during operation of the vehicle, it could cause the hood to open during vehicle operation impairing the driver's vision, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Risk: The under-torqued fasteners may result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the lug nut becomes loose from not being properly tightened, it may fall off, allowing the other lug nuts to become loose, possibly resulting in a wheel separation, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger airbag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Risk: The increased stopping distance may increase the risk of a crash.
