Buying a used 2018 Infiniti Q50? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 42 owner complaints on file

The 2018 INFINITI Q50 has 3 recalls in this group, covering an engine-stalling software flaw, a driveshaft that can break, and a backup camera image that can remain off. The stalling and driveshaft issues are the principal mechanical concerns. Its 42 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 17 involving the engine, 8 air bags, 6 fuel/propulsion, and 5 electrical systems. The complaint record includes 1 reported crash and 1 reported fire; these reports do not establish a recall connection.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify VIN-specific software and driveshaft recall completion.
3. Test the backup camera for a missing image.
4. Ask about engine stalling and air bag warning history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Infiniti dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
