Infiniti Recalls

Check open Infiniti recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.

How Infiniti recall lookups work

When you enter an Infiniti VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Infiniti dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.

Why check Infiniti recalls before buying used?

A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at an Infiniti authorized dealer after purchase.

Notable past Infiniti recall campaigns

A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.

NHTSA campaign 17V476000

Fuel system, gasoline: fuel-pump control module software

2016-2018 Infiniti Q50 and 2017 Infiniti Q60 with the 2.0L engine

Incorrect fuel-pump control-module software could let the main-tank fuel level read too low to feed the engine, causing it to stall while driving and raising crash risk. Infiniti dealers reprogram the fuel-pump control module with corrected software at no charge.

NHTSA campaign 17V571000

Air bags: driver's frontal inflator

2017 Infiniti Q50 and Q50 Hybrid

The driver's frontal airbag inflator may have been welded improperly; in a crash that deploys the airbag, the inflator could crack and vent the gas needed to inflate it, increasing injury risk. Infiniti dealers replace the driver airbag inflator at no charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do

Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Infiniti also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
