Does a recall affect your Infiniti Q30?

Not every Infiniti Q30 is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Driver's airbag may deploy

Launched 2 January 2018 DVSA recall R/2017/293 Manufacturer ref. PG7BS

Defect
The steering column has no electrical connection to ground other than the spiral cable. In the event that the spiral cable is damaged the airbag warning light will illuminate. If the customer ignores the warning light and continues to drive for extended periods electrostatic charge may be discharged through the electrical circuit of the drivers airbag. In an extreme case this discharge could be sufficient to trigger an unintended deployment of the driver airbag.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a slip ring to the steering column on all potentially affected vehicles.

Launched 30 April 2017 DVSA recall R/2017/083

Defect

Airbag may not deploy correctly

Launched 1 February 2017 DVSA recall R/2016/301 Manufacturer ref. PG6BN

Defect
It has been identified that due to a manufacturing error at the airbag manufacturer the chemical composition of the initiator (the compound that triggers the airbag deployment) of a limited number of passenger airbag inflators may not be to specification. Therefore it is possible that an affected airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to have the affected airbags replace with a new quality assured component.

2016 2 recalls

Anchorage point may be incorrectly positioned and may not restrain the passenger

Launched 12 December 2016 DVSA recall R/2016/228 Manufacturer ref. PG6BH

Defect
Some vehicles may have an incorrectly assembled front seat belt with the right hand seat belt fitted on the left hand side or vice versa. This could cause the seat belt upper anchorage to be used at an incorrect angle; making it difficult for the customer to apply the seatbelt or slowing the retraction speed when removing the belt. In an extreme case the front seat belt may not restrain the front seat passenger.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary replace the front seat belts.

Rear seat belt may not secure the passenger

Launched 12 December 2016 DVSA recall R/2016/227 Manufacturer ref. PG6BE

Defect
The rear seat buckle nuts may not be fully secure. In this condition the seat belt buckle may make a rattle noise. In an extreme case the nut may come off and the rear seat belts will not restrain the rear seat passengers.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary torque the rear seat belt buckles nuts.

January 1992 to September 2026 8 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Infiniti Q30. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
