VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
2021 QX50; KNUCKLE INSPECTION
This bulletin has been amended. See AMENDMENT HISTORY on the last page. Discard all previous versions of this bulletin.
| CAMPAIGN ID #: | R21A5 |
| APPLIED VEHICLE: | 2021 QX50 (J55) |
Check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
Infiniti is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign on certain specific model year 2021 QX50 vehicles to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front steering knuckles and rear suspension knuckles. This service will be performed at no charge to the client for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Infiniti has assigned identification number R21A5 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
RETAILER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the retailer’s responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a retailer’s inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in retailer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Infiniti strongly encourages retailers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
