***** Campaign Summary *****
INFINITI is committed to the safety and security of our clients and their passengers. INFINITI has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is recalling certain 2023 INFINITI QX60 vehicles to inspect the front driver’s seat, and if necessary replace the seat cushion frame. INFINITI has further notified the NHTSA that it is recalling all potentially affected service parts from retailer inventory or previoiusly installed on a vehicle as a service part during a repair.
On certain INFINITI QX60 vehicles and potentially affected service parts, due to a supplier weld quality concern that has since been corrected, the driver’s seat frame rail welds may detach from the rear inboard seat bracket. As a result of this issue, the driver’s seat may not be fully secured to the seat frame potentially increasing the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.

Chronology :
December 29, 2022 – Nissan received a report related to a MY 2023 Nissan Rogue vehicle that alleged excess movement or play in the driver’s seat. Nissan collected the suspect part and began an investigation.
January 2023 to February 2023 – A broken weld condition was found on the driver’s seat frame between the rear inboard bracket and inboard seat rail. Nissan and the supplier conducted a parts audit of 22,726 driver’s seat rails and zero were reported with a poor weld quality concern. Further investigation identified that the broken weld was related to a sub-supplier quality process issue.
March 2023 – Review of the sub-supplier records determined three (3) rails that had a rejected weld condition may not have been contained. Concurrently, Nissan investigated the impact of the weld condition of the rear inboard seat rail bracket. As part of the assessment, Nissan performed a sled pull test on the worst case weld condition to evaluate driver’s seat performance in various scenarios. Nissan concluded that the driver’s seat showed performance degradation and may not meet certain regulatory requirements.
April 6, 2023 – Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall to recall all potentially affected vehicles to inspect the seat rails and replace any affected seat cushion frame assemblies.
Nissan is not aware of any other warranty claims attributed to this condition.

vehicles total.
Model Volume of Production
MY 2023 Nissan Rogue 6,911
MY 2023 Nissan Pathfinder 3,961
MY 2023 INFINITI QX60 1,528
4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
Approximately 0.1%. 1% is used here because submission within NHTSA’s safety
portal will not allow a value less than 1%.
5. Description of the Defect:
The driver’s powered seat may not be fully secured to the seat frame on certain
Nissan Rogue, Pathfinder, and INFINTI QX60 vehicles. As a result of this issue, the
seat frame welds may detach from the rear inboard seat bracket. If this
condition occurs, it may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of
a crash. In addition, the seat frame assembly may not meet certain FMVSS 207
and FMVSS 210 requirements because of this condition.
6. Chronology of Principal Events:
December 29, 2022 – Nissan received a report related to a MY 2023 Nissan Rogue
vehicle that alleged excess movement or play in the driver’s seat. Nissan
collected the suspect part and began an investigation.
January 2023 to February 2023 – A broken weld condition was found on the
driver’s seat frame between the rear inboard bracket and inboard seat rail.
Nissan and the supplier conducted a parts audit of 22,726 driver’s seat rails and
zero were reported with a poor weld quality concern. Further investigation
identified that the broken weld was related to a sub-supplier quality process
issue.
March 2023 – Review of the sub-supplier records determined three (3) rails that
had a rejected weld condition may not have been contained. Concurrently,
Nissan investigated the impact of the weld condition of the rear inboard seat rail
bracket. As part of the assessment, Nissan performed a sled pull test on the
worst case weld condition to evaluate driver’s seat performance in various
scenarios. Nissan concluded that the driver’s seat showed performance
degradation and may not meet certain regulatory requirements.
April 6, 2023 – Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall to recall all
potentially affected vehicles to inspect the seat rails and replace any affected
seat cushion frame assemblies.
Nissan is not aware of any other warranty claims attributed to this condition.
7. Description of Corrective Action:
Dealers will be notified beginning April 14, 2023. Owners of all potentially affected
vehicles will be notified beginning June 10, 2023. Dealers will be instructed to
check the driver’s seat rail clearance to the inboard seat bracket, and if
necessary, the dealer will remove and replace the affected driver’s seat cushion
frame. All repairs will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and may

Dear INFINITI QX60 Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety

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

Certain MY 2023 INFINITI QX60 vehicles may have a driver’s powered seat that may not
be fully secured to the seat frame and the driver’s seat frame rail welds may detach from the

occupant in the event of a crash. In addition, in this condition, the seat frame assembly may
not meet certain requirements for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 207 “Seating
System” and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 210 “Seat Belt Assembly
Anchorages”.
What Nissan Will Do

your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.

local INFINITI retailer for diagnosis. Otherwise, please contact your INFINITI retailer at
your earliest convenience in order to arrange an appointment to have your vehicle inspected

December 29, 2022 – Nissan received a report related to a MY 2023 Nissan Rogue vehicle that alleged excess movement or play in the driver’s seat. Nissan collected the suspect part and began an investigation. January 2023 to February 2023 – A broken weld condition was found on the driver’s seat frame between the rear inboard bracket and inboard seat rail. Nissan and the supplier conducted a parts audit of 22,726 driver’s seat rails and zero were reported with a poor weld quality concern. Further investigation identified that the broken weld was related to a sub-supplier quality process issue. March 2023 – Review of the sub-supplier records determined three (3) rails that had a rejected weld condition may not have been contained. Concurrently, Nissan investigated the impact of the weld condition of the rear inboard seat rail bracket. As part of the assessment, Nissan performed a sled pull test on the worst case weld condition to evaluate driver’s seat performance in various scenarios. Nissan concluded that the driver’s seat showed performance degradation and may not meet certain regulatory requirements. April 6, 2023 – Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall to recall all potentially affected vehicles to inspect the seat rails and replace any affected seat cushion frame assemblies. Nissan is not aware of any other warranty claims attributed to this condition. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-268
