Buying a used 2018 Infiniti Q50? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls apply here: fuel pump software that may stall the engine, a driveshaft shared with the Q70 that can break, and a lower-severity backup camera image that can stay off. None carry stop-driving or park-outside warnings. The 42 unverified owner complaints to NHTSA include one crash and one fire, and skew toward engine (17) and fuel or propulsion system (6) — the same territory as the stall recall — plus air bags (8) and electrical system (5).
Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm the fuel pump software update and driveshaft recall were both performed
- Ask the seller directly about stalling, hesitation or fuel system warning lights
- Cycle into reverse several times to confirm the backup camera image appears
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Infiniti dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
