Infiniti QX60 seat recalls: loose driver and second-row seats
All three of these Infiniti recalls land on one vehicle — the QX60 — in model years 2022 and 2023, and all three are seat-anchoring defects. Two cover the second row: 2022 QX60s, shared with the Nissan Pathfinder, may be missing a mounting bolt in the second-row seat track, which Nissan reported as a failure to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210; 2023 QX60s, alone in the group, may have a second-row seat that extends past its rear stopper and then becomes difficult to move, sticks, or fails to lock in position. The third, from April 2023, covers 2023 QX60, Pathfinder and Rogue models whose driver's power seat may not be fully secured, letting the seat frame welds detach from the rear inboard seat bracket.
Warning signs to watch for
- A driver's seat that feels loose or shifts on its frame, from the 2023 power-seat recall.
- A second-row seat that is difficult to move or becomes stuck when you slide it.
- A second-row seat that slides past its normal rear stopping point.
- A second-row seat that will not lock in the correct position after adjustment.
- The missing second-row mounting bolt gives no sign you can see or feel — it only matters in a crash.
Is it safe to keep driving?
None of the three notices tells owners to stop driving, and none says to park the vehicle outside. In every case the danger appears only in a crash, when a seat that is loose, unbolted or unlocked may not restrain the person sitting in it, which can mean worse injuries. Nissan's wording on the 2023 second-row recall is to avoid seating passengers in a seat that will not lock, so if your second row sticks or refuses to latch, keep that position empty until the dealer completes the repair.
What the free repair involves
Every repair is free of charge. For the 2022 missing-bolt recall, the dealer inspects the second-row seat track and installs a new mounting bolt as necessary. For the 2023 second-row recall, the dealer removes and replaces the second-row seat outright. For the driver's seat recall, the dealer inspects the driver's seat rail clearance and replaces the driver's seat cushion frame if needed. No software or over-the-air updates are involved.

Common questions
Does this affect every Infiniti model or just the QX60?
Only the QX60. All three recalls name 2022 or 2023 QX60 vehicles. Two of them also cover Nissan siblings — the Pathfinder in the 2022 missing-bolt recall, and the Pathfinder and Rogue in the 2023 driver's seat recall.
When did Nissan notify QX60 owners about these seat recalls?
Letters for the 2022 missing-bolt recall were mailed April 13, 2022. Letters for the 2023 second-row seat recall were expected April 14, 2023, and for the driver's seat recall June 10, 2023. Nissan customer service is 1-800-867-7669.
Can I still carry passengers or car seats in the second row?
If your second-row seat moves and locks normally, the notices place no restriction on using it. But because the 2023 recall describes a seat that can fail to lock correctly, leave that seat unoccupied until the dealer replaces it.
