2023 Infiniti QX60; 2nd Row Bench Seat
Chronology :
September 6, 2022 – A technician noticed a second row seat was stuck in the rearmost position during a routine quality check. Nissan initiated containment measures and immediately began an investigation.
September 2022 through October 2022 – Nissan and the supplier conducted yard audits totaling 13,384 vehicles and continued investigation of the issue. Supplier maintenance records determined the rear stopper forming tool had been recently replaced and the production tool had the incorrect dimensions for the rear stopper.
November 2022 through December 2022 – During the supplier investigation, it was determined that a maintenance technician may have inadvertently replaced the stopper forming tool with an improper part. As a result, the distance used to set the second row seat track stopper was incorrect and allowed for the seat to extend past the intended stopping point. The supplier corrected the forming tool and updated the tooling drawings to capture all critical dimensions. These countermeasures and containment were adopted in production to prevent the issue from reoccurring.
Concurrently, Nissan initiated a safety assessment to investigate the impact of the seat traveling past the intended stopping point. As part of the assessment, Nissan performed three (3) separate tests to evaluate seat performance in multiple positions.
January 2023 – Nissan completed its safety assessment and concluded that the second row seat showed performance degradation when adjusted to the rearmost position (past the intended stopping point).
February 13, 2023 – Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall to inspect, and remedy all potentially affected vehicles.

5. Description of the Defect:
On certain lnfiniti QX60 vehicles, the second row adjustable seat may have the
incorrect rear stopper distance on the seat track. Due to a supplier error, the
incorrect stopper forming tool was used in production. As a result of this issue,
the seat could extend past the intended rear stopper point and may be difficult
to move, become stuck, or fail to lock in position correctly. If any of these
conditions occur, it may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of
a crash.
6. Chronology of Principal Events:
September 6, 2022 – A technician noticed a second row seat was stuck in the
rearmost position during a routine quality check. Nissan initiated containment
measures and immediately began an investigation.
September 2022 through October 2022 – Nissan and the supplier conducted
yard audits totaling 13,384 vehicles and continued investigation of the issue.
Supplier maintenance records determined the rear stopper forming tool had
been recently replaced and the production tool had the incorrect dimensions for
the rear stopper.
November 2022 through December 2022 – During the supplier investigation, it
was determined that a maintenance technician may have inadvertently replaced
the stopper forming tool with an improper part. As a result, the distance used to
set the second row seat track stopper was incorrect and allowed for the seat to
extend past the intended stopping point. The supplier corrected the forming tool
and updated the tooling drawings to capture all critical dimensions. These
countermeasures and containment were adopted in production to prevent the
issue from reoccurring.
Concurrently, Nissan initiated a safety assessment to investigate the impact of
the seat traveling past the intended stopping point. As part of the assessment,
Nissan performed three (3) separate tests to evaluate seat performance in
multiple positions.
January 2023 – Nissan completed its safety assessment and concluded that the
second row seat showed performance degradation when adjusted to the
rearmost position (past the intended stopping point).
February 13, 2023 – Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall to
inspect, and remedy all potentially affected vehicles.
Nissan is not aware of any warranty claims attributed to this condition.
7. Description of Corrective Action:
Dealers will be notified beginning February 22, 2023. Owners of all potentially
affected vehicles will be notified beginning April 14, 2023. Dealers will be
instructed to scan the VIN to identify the affected second row seat assembly.
The dealer will then remove and replace the concerned second row seat. All
repairs will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and may take less
than one (1) hour to complete.
Nissan will not include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning
reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy since the
subject vehicles are no longer under warranty.
8. Copy of Notices:
Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.

NOTIFICACIÓN PROPIETARIO
Dear INFINITI QX60 Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Infiniti has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year
2023 INFINITI QX60 vehicles. Our records indicate that you own or lease the Infiniti vehicle
identified by the VIN on the inside of this notice.
Reason for Recall
Motivo del Retiro

stopper point and may be difficult to move, become stuck, or fail to lock in position correctly. If any of
these conditions occur, it may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.
What Nissan Will Do
Qué Hará Nissan
Your INFINITI retailer will replace the affected second row seat assembly. This service, which is
conducted at no charge to you for parts and labor, could take up to two (2) hours to complete.

work schedule.
What You Should Do

replaced before using the second row seat.

Country : United States Chronology :
September 6, 2022 – A technician noticed a second row seat was stuck in the rearmost position during a routine quality check. Nissan initiated containment measures and immediately began an investigation. September 2022 through October 2022 – Nissan and the supplier conducted yard audits totaling 13,384 vehicles and continued investigation of the issue. Supplier maintenance records determined the rear stopper forming tool had been recently replaced and the production tool had the incorrect dimensions for the rear stopper. November 2022 through December 2022 – During the supplier investigation, it was determined that a maintenance technician may have inadvertently replaced the stopper forming tool with an improper part. As a result, the distance used to set the second row seat track stopper was incorrect and allowed for the seat to extend past the intended stopping point. The supplier corrected the forming tool and updated the tooling drawings to capture all critical dimensions. These countermeasures and containment were adopted in production to prevent the issue from reoccurring. Concurrently, Nissan initiated a safety assessment to investigate the impact of the seat traveling past the intended stopping point. As part of the assessment, Nissan performed three (3) separate tests to evaluate seat performance in multiple positions. January 2023 – Nissan completed its safety assessment and concluded that the second row seat showed performance degradation when adjusted to the rearmost position (past the intended stopping point). February 13, 2023 – Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall to inspect, and remedy all potentially affected vehicles.
