Buying a used 2021 Infiniti QX80? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls, none carrying stop-driving or park-outside instructions. The fuel pump defect is the significant one, since a failing pump can leave the vehicle stalling or unable to restart. The backup camera shutting off and the incorrect weight-rating label are lower-stakes fixes. Only seven owner complaints were filed with NHTSA — these are unverified reports — with no crashes, fires or injuries, spread thinly across fuel/propulsion, vehicle speed control, engine and power train. A light complaint record for the model year.
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.
- Run the VIN with a dealer to confirm the fuel pump recall remedy was actually completed, not just mailed.
- Ask whether the vehicle has ever stalled or failed to restart, and start it both cold and warm.
- Shift to reverse and confirm the camera image stays up; check the door-jamb weight rating label was corrected.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Infiniti dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
