DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT
1. Manufacturer:
COMPAS Aguascalientes Plant, Mexico
2. Vehicles Potentially Involved:
Certain MY2022 INFINITI QX50 and MY2023 INFINITI QX55 vehicles as shown in
the table below:
Model Dates of Manufacture Plant
MY 2023 INFINITI QX55 July 26, 2022 to August 9, 2022 COMPAS
MY 2022 INFINITI QX50 June 27, 2022 to August 9, 2022 COMPAS
Based on the Tier 1 (Mitsui) supplier records, the issue occurred due to a material
handling error on production door latches installed in specific front right-hand door
lock assemblies that were later installed on certain MY 2022 QX50 and MY 2023
QX55 vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured during the specified time period
outlined above. No other Nissan or INFINITI vehicles are affected.
The name, description and part number of the subject components are below:

3. Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved:
Approximately forty-eight (48) MY 2022-2023 INFINITI QX50 and QX55 vehicles
total.
Model Volume of Production
MY 2023 INFINITI QX55 22
MY 2022 INFINITI QX50 26
4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
50%
5. Description of the Defect:
On certain INFINITI QX55 and QX50 vehicles, the incorrect door latch may have
been installed in the front right-hand door lock assembly. Due to a material handling
error at the supplier, the incorrect latch was loaded into the door lock production line.
As a result, the front right-hand passenger door lock will not automatically lock. If
the incorrect door lock assembly is installed, the latch may unlock during a crash
event, potentially increasing the risk of injury to the occupant.
6. Chronology of Principal Events:
August 9, 2022 – During a routine plant quality audit, a technician noticed the door
lock on a Model Year 2023 INFINITI QX55 vehicle did not remain locked when the
automatic door lock is applied. Nissan initiated containment measures and
immediately began an investigation.
August 2022 through September 2022 – Nissan and the supplier conducted yard
audits totaling 585 vehicles and identified forty (40) front right-hand passenger
door lock assemblies with the subject condition.
The supplier continued investigation of the issue and determined that door latches
specified for the China market were inadvertently used for the door lock assembly
line for U.S. market.
After the supplier’s determination, Nissan initiated a safety assessment to evaluate
the impact of an incorrect door latch on the operation of the front passenger door
lock assembly.
October 2022 through December 2022 – Initial analysis of the subject latches
showed the incorrect specification may cause a reduction in the necessary resistance
to the force required for the door latch to open. Nissan’s initial Computer-Aided
Engineering (CAE) modeling, which was intended to determine how the reduction in
resistance of the China market latch affected the door lock performance during a
crash, was inconclusive.
As such, Nissan started initial preparations to conduct a vehicle test to evaluate the
subject latch performance during a crash.
January 2023 through February 2023 – During preparations to conduct vehicle
testing, Nissan elected to use engineering judgment. Nissan determined that the
reduction in resistance required for the door latch to open represented a potential
risk to safety, if the door lock were to open during a crash.
March 13, 2023 – Based on engineering judgement and out of an abundance of
caution, Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall, to remedy all
potentially affected vehicles.
Nissan is not aware of any warranty claims attributed to this condition.
Description of Corrective Action:
Dealers will be notified beginning March 21, 2023. Owners of all potentially
affected vehicles will be notified beginning May 14, 2023. Dealers will replace the
front right-hand passenger door lock assembly. All repairs will be performed free of
charge for parts and labor and may take up to 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 under warranty.
8. Copy of Notices:
Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.

August 9, 2022 – During a routine plant quality audit, a technician noticed the door lock on a Model Year 2023 INFINITI QX55 vehicle did not remain locked when the automatic door lock is applied. Nissan initiated containment measures and immediately began an investigation. August 2022 through September 2022 – Nissan and the supplier conducted yard audits totaling 585 vehicles and identified forty (40) front right-hand passenger door lock assemblies with the subject condition. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-187 Page 3 The supplier continued investigation of the issue and determined that door latches specified for the China market were inadvertently used for the door lock assembly line for U.S. market. After the supplier’s determination, Nissan initiated a safety assessment to evaluate the impact of an incorrect door latch on the operation of the front passenger door lock assembly. October 2022 through December 2022 – Initial analysis of the subject latches showed the incorrect specification may cause a reduction in the necessary resistance to the force required for the door latch to open. Nissan’s initial Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) modeling, which was intended to determine how the reduction in resistance of the China market latch affected the door lock performance during a crash, was inconclusive. As such, Nissan started initial preparations to conduct a vehicle test to evaluate the subject latch performance during a crash. January 2023 through February 2023 – During preparations to conduct vehicle testing, Nissan elected to use engineering judgment. Nissan determined that the reduction in resistance required for the door latch to open represented a potential risk to safety, if the door lock were to open during a crash. March 13, 2023 – Based on engineering judgement and out of an abundance of caution, Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall, to remedy all potentially affected vehicles. Nissan is not aware of any warranty claims attributed to this condition. Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Dealers will replace the front right-hand passenger door lock assembly.
All repairs will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and may take up to 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 under warranty.
