Buying a used 2022 Infiniti QX50? Check these 2 recalls first
The critical turbo engine recall — engines that may fail or burn — still applies to this year, alongside a medium-severity recall for a front passenger door that won't auto-lock on the QX50 and QX55. Neither required parking outside or stopping driving. Only 16 owner complaints were filed with NHTSA, these being unverified reports, and they lean electrical (5) rather than engine, with unknown/other (3), power train (2) and service brakes (2). One crash, one fire and three injuries appear among them.
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.
- Verify the turbo engine recall was completed, and ask if the engine was ever replaced.
- Test that the front passenger door auto-locks with the others when driving off.
- Check electrical basics — infotainment, windows, warning lights — and brake feel on the test drive.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Infiniti dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
