Buying a used 2021 Infiniti QX50? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 40 owner complaints on file

Two open items stand out: a critical recall for Nissan and Infiniti turbo engines that may fail or burn, and a high-severity recall covering weak steering and axle parts shared with the Nissan Murano. Neither carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Of 40 unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA, ENGINE accounts for 18, followed by electrical system (8), engine cooling (7) and forward collision avoidance (7). Reports include 2 crashes and 4 injuries, no fires.

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. Get recall completion records for both the turbo engine and the steering/axle component repairs.
3. Ask whether the car has had engine, turbo or coolant work outside the recalls.
4. During the drive, note steering play or clunks, and whether collision warnings trigger without cause.
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.
