Does a recall affect your Infiniti Q50?

Not every Infiniti Q50 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.

Oil may leak engine may stall

Launched 12 March 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/027 Manufacturer ref. R1503

Unintended acceleration

Launched 15 December 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/122

Defect
It has been identified that under certain circumstances the throttle position sensor may send an error signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). As a result the ECM may not operate as intended and the vehicle may accelerate gradually without the driver operating the throttle pedal. However this acceleration can be overridden by application of the brakes.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to install new software of the ECM.

Under extreme circumstances transmission may detach

Launched 15 December 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/121

Defect
It has been identified that due to an issue during the casting process of the front of the transmission casing the casting may become cracked during the release phase of the operation. If the vehicle is driven at high speed in this condition the crack can grow and cause a vibration. In an extreme case the transmission may detach from the vehicle.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the transmission casing for cracks and replace any transmission are found to be cracked.

Vehicle may cut out

Launched 15 December 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/120

Defect
It has been identified that due to a software error the traction motor inverter may incorrectly diagnose communication between the inverter and the transmission control module (TCM). This can cause the inverter system to suddenly shut down. If the vehicle is being driven in Electric Vehicle (EV i.e. engine off) the power to the electric motor may be cut resulting in the vehicle coming to a sudden stop.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to install new software for the traction motor inverter control module.

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Infiniti Q50. 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.
