***** Campaign Summary *****
INFINITI has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada that it is recalling certain INFINITI Model Year 2014-17 QX60 Hybrid vehicles to reprogram the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) with updated software to enable Electric Vehicle (EV) only operation in the event of failsafe mode activation.
The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) on certain INFINITI QX60 vehicles may contain software that can cause an engine stall under certain conditions. In the event of bearing damage, the HPCM detects the overheat condition and initiates failsafe mode, which cuts drive power to both the engine and electric motor. Without drivetrain power, the client may experience an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Affected vehicles are subject to stop sale.
***** Release Schedule *****
Parts
- Updated Engine Control Module (ECM) software is now available on ASIST.
- No other parts are required for this campaign.

Chronology of Principal Events:
March 2021 – Nissan became aware of reports of engine stall and power shutdown in the China market involving the subject vehicles.
April 2021 through July 2021 – Nissan focused its investigation on the motor and continuously variable transmission operation, in addition to the failsafe mode activation of the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM). As part of the investigation, Nissan initiated a parts collection activity in China.
The analysis revealed that the HPCM failsafe mode might potentially disable drive power to the engine and electric motor in the event of bearing damage.
August 2021 to September 2021 – Nissan performed a safety assessment of the failsafe mode to evaluate the potential conditions that could result from a power shutdown of the hybrid powertrain. If both the engine and electric motor are disabled, a stall condition may occur. This failsafe mode condition also reduces power steering assist and braking assist.
In addition, Nissan conducted a warranty review to determine any incidents in markets outside of China. Nissan identified thirty-five (35) claims related to the subject condition in the U.S. market.
September 27, 2021 – Based on the foregoing, Nissan decided to conduct a safety recall campaign to remedy potentially affected vehicles.

Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect: 0.42% 1% is used here because submission within NHTSA’s safety portal will not allow a value under 1%. 5. Description of the Defect: The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) on certain Nissan Murano Hybrid, Pathfinder Hybrid and INFINITI QX60 Hybrid vehicles may contain software that can cause an engine stall under certain conditions. In the event of bearing damage, the HPCM detects the overheat condition and initiates failsafe mode, which cuts drive power to both the engine and electric motor. Without drivetrain power, the customer may experience an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. 6. Chronology of Principal Events: March 2021 – Nissan became aware of reports of engine stall and power shutdown in the China market involving the subject vehicles. April 2021 through July 2021 – Nissan focused its investigation on the motor and continuously variable transmission operation, in addition to the failsafe mode activation of the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM). As part of the investigation, Nissan initiated a parts collection activity in China. The analysis revealed that the HPCM failsafe mode might potentially disable drive power to the engine and electric motor in the event of bearing damage. August 2021 to September 2021 – Nissan performed a safety assessment of the failsafe mode to evaluate the potential conditions that could result from a power shutdown of the hybrid powertrain. If both the engine and electric motor are disabled, a stall condition may occur. This failsafe mode condition also reduces power steering assist and braking assist. In addition, Nissan conducted a warranty review to determine any incidents in markets outside of China. Nissan identified thirty-five (35) claims related to the subject condition in the U.S. market. September 27, 2021 – Based on the foregoing, Nissan decided to conduct a safety recall campaign to remedy potentially affected vehicles. 7. Description of Corrective Action: Nissan will notify all owners of potentially affected vehicles beginning December 3, 2021. Dealers were notified October 5, 2021. Dealers will reprogram the HPCM with updated software to enable EV only operation in the event of failsafe mode activation. 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 repair is a reprogram. 8. Copy of Notices: Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.
