Show 3 Canadian recalls

Label

2026-07-15 · campaign 2026-344

Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may list the wrong gross axle weight rating (GAWR) information. This could lead you to overload the vehicle and cause poor handling or a tire failure. Note: This recall only affects models equipped with 22-inch wheels. Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in a crash. Corrective Action: The company will notify owners by mail and provide you with a new compliance label. If you'd like help to install it, you can contact a dealer to have it installed free of charge.

Visual system

2021-08-04 · campaign 2021-483 · 247 vehicles

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.

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).
