What's wrong, in plain English

On certain 2018 Infiniti QX30 vehicles, the bolt that holds the right-hand lower seat belt anchorage in place may not have been installed correctly during production. Because of this, the seat belt anchorage could detach if the vehicle is in a crash. As a result, these vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for seat belts and seat belt anchorages.

What you should do

1. Check your vehicle's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if it's included in this recall.
2. Contact an Infiniti dealer, or call Infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200, with any questions.
3. The repair — welding in a new retaining plate and a new anchor bolt — is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 18V355000.
