What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Infiniti) is recalling certain 2011-2013 m56, 2012-2013 m35 hybrid, 2014-2018 q50, q70 hybrid, 2014-2019 q70, and 2015-2019 q70l two-wheel drive vehicles. The driveshaft can fatigue and break.
Why it matters: A broken driveshaft can result in a loss of drive power, or a vehicle roll away when the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the driveshaft, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 13, 2024.
