Buying a used 2018 Infiniti QX80? Check these 2 recalls first
A light recall record for this year: a medium recall for a backup camera image that can stay off, and a low-severity one covering a wrong weight rating label shared with the Nissan Armada. Neither required stopping driving or parking outside. Owner complaints are few — 9 filed with NHTSA, and these are unverified reports — with electrical system (4) at the top, then unknown/other (2), air bags (2) and exterior lighting (1). One crash and one injury 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.
- Put it in reverse and confirm the backup camera image displays reliably every time.
- Check that the door jamb weight rating label is correct, especially if you plan to tow.
- Confirm the airbag warning light cycles and goes out, given the air bag complaints.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Infiniti dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
