Details

What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Infiniti QX50 vehicles. In the event of a crash in very cold temperatures, the trim cover may separate unexpectedly from the passenger-side knee air bag module instead of splitting at the trim cover tear seam as designed.

Why it matters: If the passenger-side knee air bag cover detaches during deployment, it can increase the risk of injury.

The fix: Infiniti will notify owners, and retailers will replace the passenger-side knee air bag module, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018.
