Recalls are free repairs for widespread safety defects or issues that doesn’t meet federal safety standards. They are usually limited to a specific set of vehicles based on things like model year, manufacture date, and VIN range. Recall repairs are offered free to owners and lessees, but most are limited-time offers.
The QX80 has been recalled 0 times, the most of any Infiniti vehicle.

It didn’t take long for the 2019 QX50 to get its first recall.
More than 1,670 model year 2019 Infiniti QX50 SUVs are recalled because the passenger-side knee airbag covers may detach when the airbags deploy in cold temperatures.
I have some choice words for Nissan’s anti-lock brake actuator pump.
And yes, I realize that is an odd thing to say, but hear me out. The pump leaks brake fluid onto internal circuit boards which starts fires. And it’s been a problem more than once. The pumps were first recalled back in 2016. However the seals used to “fix” the leak have failed and now the pumps have been recalled again.
Nissan is even worried enough to ask owners of the 2015-2017 Murano, 2016-2017 Maxima, 2017-2018 Pathfinder and the 2017 Infiniti QX60 vehicles to park their cars outside and away from things you wouldn’t like to see turned to ash.
Maybe I should direct my choice words at Nissan instead.
Software errors in the fuel pump can cause certain Infiniti vehicles to run out of gas.
Engineers determined when the amount of fuel is low in the main tank, the pressure regulator may not open and send fuel from the sub tank to the main tank. This can cause the fuel level in the main tank to be too low for the fuel pump to send fuel to the engine, which can cause the engine to stop running while driving. Technology. It’s awesome, until it isn’t.
The recall involves the 2016-2018 Q50 and the 2016 Q60 with 2-liter engines.
Nissan announced the 2002 QX4 and Pathfinder need their front, passenger-side airbag inflators replaced. This is important, but there's a catch.
It's only 46 vehicles. Affected owners should be notified by mail, but you can also grab your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and call 800-647-7261.
More than 500 of the 2017 QX30 are being recalled because their Autoliv airbags fall into the latter category. It's a similar issue to this BMW recall earlier this month.
The best way to find out what's wrong with a vehicle is from the people who drive them. Not only do owner complaints help us rank vehicles by reliability, but they're often used to spark class-action lawsuits and warranty extensions. Plus, they're a great way to vent.
