Steering

2021-06-02 · campaign 2021-341 · 141 vehicles

Issue: On certain vehicles, the universal joint connection on the steering shaft could loosen over time. As a result, there could be noise or a change in steering feel. If a driver continues to operate the vehicle, the bearing could separate from the universal joint and cause a loss of steering control. Safety Risk: A loss of steering could create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Infiniti will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the lower steering shaft.

Airbag

2017-11-02 · campaign 2017-538

On certain vehicles, electrostatic discharge, when combined with a broken clock spring and insufficient grounding of the steering components, could lead to an inadvertent deployment of the driver's frontal airbag. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will add sufficient grounding to the steering components. Note: A broken clock spring would result in a driver airbag warning message appearing in the instrument cluster, as well as a red airbag warning lamp illuminating.

Airbag

2017-03-07 · campaign 2017-115 · 7 vehicles

On certain vehicles, the generant mix ratio of the driver side curtain airbag may not meet specifications. In the event of a crash, an improper generant mix could prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying properly, which would increase the risk of injury to the driver. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver side curtain airbag assembly.

Airbag

2016-12-22 · campaign 2016-649 · 47 vehicles

Certain vehicles may have been equipped with a passenger frontal airbag inflator that does not meet specifications.
