***** Campaign Summary *****
INFINITI is committed to safety, security, and satisfaction of our clients and their passengers. INFINITI is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign on certain INFINITI Model Year 20062008 FX35/FX45 vehicles identified in Service Comm to replace the passenger air bag module.
A supplier’s process change reduced the air bag cushion’s folding width, which could increase the cushion internal pressure during deployment. If this condition occurs, the cushion could tear and may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash if air bag deployment is warranted.
Owners of vehicles that have previously been repaired using module part number K8515-CL71A under the following campaign IDs are now being asked to return to the dealership for part replacement:
- R1622
- R1701
- R1704

INFINITI will begin notifying owners of all potentially affected vehicles in April 2021, via U.S. Mail.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: Is this a safety recall?
Yes.
Q: What is the reason for the recall?
A supplier’s process change reduced the air bag cushion’s folding width, which could increase the cushion internal pressure during deployment. If this condition occurs, the cushion could tear and may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash if air bag deployment is warranted.
Q: What is the possible effect of the condition?
If this condition occurs, it may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash, where air bag deployment is warranted.
Q: What will be the corrective action?
Retailers will replace the passenger air bag module.
Q: How long will the corrective action take?
This service, which is conducted at no charge to you for parts and labor, could take up to approximately one (1) hour to complete. However, your INFINITI retailer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.
Q: Does this stop sale apply to previously owned vehicles?
INFINITI strongly recommends retailers not sell previously owned vehicles affected by these recalls until remedied. Certain states have laws preventing the sale of previously owned vehicles with open safety recalls. Retailers must comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding vehicle sales as they relate to open safety recalls.
Q: These vehicles have already had parts replaced under a previous recall (R1622, R1701, R1704), do they need to be remedied again?
Yes. Although the vehicle has already been into the retailer to have the passenger airbag replaced under a previous recall (R1622, R1701, R1704), the supplier’s process change reduced the air bag cushion’s folding width, which could increase the cushion internal pressure during deployment. If this condition occurs, the cushion could tear and may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash if air bag deployment is warranted. Therefore, INFINITI is asking that retailers replace the prior recall repair part (passenger air bag module) with a new part under campaign ID R20C2.
Q: How do I know if my vehicle has a problem with the front passenger airbag?
If your vehicle is subject to this campaign, you will receive an Owner Notification letter from INFINITI. If you would like, I can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) right now to see if your vehicle is affected by a different recall. You may also search for open recall campaigns at safercar.gov.
Q: When will vehicle owners be notified?
INFINITI will begin notifying owners of all potentially affected vehicles in April 2021 via U.S. Mail.
Q: Is my vehicle safe to drive?
INFINITI strongly urges clients to have this safety recall remedy performed as soon as possible. Please contact your retailer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is performed.
Q: Is there anything owners can do to mitigate this condition?
If you received a safety recall notice about the passenger front airbag, contact your retailer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is performed.
Q: Are parts readily available?
No. Retailers may place SVC orders for parts via DBS.
Q: Will a rental vehicle be provided while the retailer is servicing the vehicle?
INFINITI may provide a courtesy vehicle for the client to use while their vehicle is being serviced. Courtesy vehicles are subject to availability and not guaranteed. Please check with your retailer for availability and further details. Rental is available while parts are on order if a courtesy vehicle is not available.
| EXPENSE CODE | DESCRIPTION | AMOUNT |
| 502 | Rental Expense | $180 (Max) |
| Contact the Warranty Claims Call Center @ 800-933-3712 if additional expense is required | ||
Q: Is there any charge for the repair?
No. The remedy will be performed for the client free of charge for parts and labor.
Q: Will I have to take my vehicle back to the selling retailer to have the service performed?
No, any authorized INFINITI retailer is able to perform the voluntary safety recall campaign.
For Consumer Affairs: Please inform us of the retailer where you would like to have the corrective action completed.
Q: I have lost confidence in the vehicle. Will INFINITI replace or repurchase the vehicle?
The remedy will fully correct this condition. As the condition will be corrected, there is no basis for repurchasing or replacing your vehicle.
Q: What model year vehicles are involved?
Certain Model Year 2006-2008 INFINITI FX35/FX45 vehicles manufactured from November 11, 2005 to March 1, 2008 at the Shonan, Japan plant.
Q: Are you experiencing this condition on any other INFINITI (or Nissan) models?

Certain Model Year 2006-2008 INFINITI FX35/FX45 vehicles manufactured from November 11, 2005 to March 1, 2008 at the Shonan, Japan plant.
This issue is unique to a specific subset of Model Year 2003, 2006-2008 INFINITI FX35/FX45 vehicles that received a (Daicel) front passenger-side air bag module as part of Takata air bag Recall Number 20V-008. As such, all FX35/FX45 vehicle repairs were recorded and tracked as part of the recall campaign repair procedure; therefore, no other Nissan or INFINITI vehicles are affected.

- Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved:
Approximately 2 MY 2003 INFINITI FX35 vehicles
Approximately 26,156 MY 2006-2008 INFINITI FX35/FX45 vehicles
- Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
Unknown. The estimated percentage of vehicles involved with defect is unknown. However, 1% is used on NHTSA’s safety portal because it will not allow non-numeric values..
- Description of the Defect:
A Tier 1 supplier’s (JSS) process change reduced the air bag cushion’s folding width. As a result of the narrower cushion width, the inflator gas flow path could be limited during deployment, which could increase the cushion internal pressure. During a high temperature environment test (185 degrees F), the air bag module experienced a tear in the cushion during deployment due to the increased pressure. The air bag inflator performance was unaffected. If this condition occurs, it may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash, where air bag deployment is warranted.
This defect only affects certain FX35/FX45 vehicles that previously received a subject front passenger air bag assembly as a recall replacement under Recall Number 20V-008.
- Chronology of Principal Events:
December 2, 2020 – The Tier 1 supplier (JSS) notified Nissan of an issue with the front passenger-side air bag module that was discovered during a high temperature environment test. Nissan began an investigation into the issue.
December 2020 through January 2021 – During the investigation, Nissan worked with the supplier to study affected parts. It was determined that the front passenger-side air bag cushion folding width was reduced during a supplier process change. Subsequently, the inflator gas flow path was limited as a result of the narrower cushion width; resulting in an internal pressure increase that caused the cushion to tear during deployment in testing.
February 2021 – Nissan confirmed the production range of vehicles affected by the supplier issue and determined that the issue only affected FX35/FX45 vehicles that received a campaign repair part as a remedy for Takata air bag Recall Number 20V-008. Nissan also studied whether replacement service parts (P/N K8515 CL71A & K851E-CG68D) were affected and instructed all dealers to purge any remaining service parts from inventory and return any remaining or recovered parts to Nissan.
February 25, 2021 – Nissan decided to conduct a Safety Recall Campaign to repair the subject vehicles that received an affected module.
Nissan is not aware of any incidents or injuries related to the subject condition.
December 17, 2021 – Nissan discovered two (2) MY2003 INFINITI FX35 VINs had received airbag replacements prior to the subject service parts being purged from dealer inventory. Nissan added these two VINs to the affected vehicle population of certain FX35/FX45 vehicles that previously received a subject front passenger air bag assembly as a recall replacement under Recall Number 20V-008.
- Description of Corrective Action:
Owners of all potentially affected vehicles will be notified beginning on April 18, 2021 to take their vehicle to an INFINITI retailer where they will replace the front passenger air bag module with a new one. Retailers will be notified on March 5, 2021.
Nissan will include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy for the subject vehicles because they are no longer under warranty.

Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: Is this a safety recall?
A. Yes.
Q What is the reason for the recall?
A. A supplier’s process change reduced the air bag cushion’s folding width, which could increase the cushion internal pressure during deployment. If this condition occurs, the cushion could tear and may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash if air bag deployment is warranted.
Q What is the possible effect of the condition?
A If this condition occurs, it may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash, where air bag deployment is warranted.
Q. What will be the corrective action?
A. Retailers will replace the passenger air bag module.
Q. How long will the corrective action take?
A. This service, which is conducted at no charge to you for parts and labor, could take up to approximately one (1) hour to complete. However, your INFINITI retailer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.
Q: Does this stop sale apply to previously owned vehicles?
A. INFINITI strongly recommends retailers not sell previously owned vehicles affected by these recalls until remedied. Certain states have laws preventing the sale of previously owned vehicles with open safety recalls. Retailers must comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding vehicle sales as they relate to open safety recalls.
Q. These vehicles have already had parts replaced under a previous recall (R1622, R1701, R1704), do they need to be remedied again?
A. Yes. Although the vehicle has already been into the retailer to have the passenger airbag replaced under a previous recall (R1622, R1701, R1704), the supplier’s process change reduced the air bag cushion’s folding width, which could increase the cushion internal pressure during deployment. If this condition occurs, the cushion could tear and may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash if air bag deployment is warranted. Therefore, INFINITI is asking that retailers replace the prior recall repair part (passenger air bag module) with a new part under campaign ID R20C2.
