Buying a used 2020 Infiniti QX50? Check these 2 recalls first
The headline item is a critical recall covering Nissan and Infiniti turbo engines that may fail or burn; regulators attached no stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The second recall is low severity: a tire information sticker that may be unreadable. Owner complaints to NHTSA are unverified reports, and 32 were filed, concentrated in ENGINE (17), with forward collision avoidance (7), power train (4) and engine cooling (4) behind it. None reported a crash, fire or injury.
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.
- Ask for the repair order proving the turbo engine recall remedy was performed on this VIN.
- Look at the driver's door jamb and confirm the tire information sticker is readable.
- Test drive cold and warm: listen for turbo noise, check for oil loss, smoke or engine warning lights.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Infiniti dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
