Certain engines in these vehicles use bearings that may have a manufacturing defect. Over time, this defect can lead to the engine failing. In some cases, a failed bearing can cause a break in the engine block, which allows hot oil inside the engine to leak out while the vehicle is being driven.
Nissan is recalling certain Nissan and Infiniti cars and SUVs because of a problem that happened during manufacturing. The inflator in the driver's airbag, which is the part that fills the bag, may absorb moisture. If that happens, the airbag may deploy improperly. Dealers will replace the entire driver's airbag assembly at no cost to the owner. Nissan mailed owner notification letters on April 10, 2024.
Nissan says some INFINITI QX50 and QX55 vehicles may have the wrong door latch installed in the front right passenger door. Because of this, the front right door lock may not lock automatically as it should. If the door is not locked, it could unlatch and open if the vehicle is involved in a crash.
Some Nissan Murano and Infiniti Q50, QX50, and QX60 vehicles have a front steering knuckle or rear axle housing that may not be strong enough because of a manufacturing heat-treatment problem. If the part is struck hard, such as when a vehicle hits a curb, it could deform. That could cause the driver to lose steering control, or a wheel could separate from the vehicle.
Nissan (Infiniti) is recalling certain 2020 Infiniti QX50 vehicles because the text on the Tire and Loading Information placard, including the tire size and loading capacity, may be illegible. If an owner cannot read this information, the wrong size tire could be installed, or the vehicle could be overloaded, which increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan is recalling certain Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including the Altima, Rogue, Sentra, Murano, Pathfinder, Titan, Frontier, Leaf, Versa and several Infiniti Q and QX models. The back-up camera and display settings can be changed so that the rear view picture no longer appears, and the vehicle keeps that setting the next time it is put in reverse. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility safety standard. Dealers will update the camera settings software at no cost.
Nissan is recalling certain 2019 INFINITI QX50 vehicles. The passenger-side knee airbag has a trim cover that is meant to split along a built-in tear seam when the airbag goes off. In a crash that happens in very cold temperatures, that cover may instead separate from the knee airbag unit unexpectedly. INFINITI will notify owners, and retailers will replace the passenger-side knee airbag unit free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 7 safety recalls covering the 2019–2024 Infiniti QX50. 3 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Nissan, Infiniti Engine Bearings May Fail" (NHTSA campaign 25V437000), reported Jun 27, 2025.
The 2019 Infiniti QX50 has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2023 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 7 Infiniti QX50 recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
