What is being recalled

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 is dangerous

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

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

INFINITI will notify owners, and retailers will replace the passenger-side knee air bag module, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018. Owners may contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-593 when calling a dealer.
