Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is issuing three separate Infiniti recalls which affect Q50, Q70 and M35 Hybrids. Nearly 13,794 vehicles are being recalled in North America.

The first campaign covers nearly 5,831 vehicles. Affected are model-year 2014 Q50 Hybrid manufactured between December 10, 2012, and June 25, 2014, and Q70 Hybrid manufactured between November 7, 2013, and December 10, 2013. Most of the affected vehicles are in the US and its territories.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there is a software error that may cause the electric motor to stop working while the vehicle is still in motion and increase the risk of a crash.

The affected owners will be contacted in mid-November. Dealers will reprogram the motor inverter software. All the repairs will be carried out free of charge.

The second recall campaign affects nearly 890 vehicles. Covered by the recall are model-year 2014 Q50 Hybrid built between October 16, 2013, and January 27, 2014, and Q70 Hybrid built between November 7, 2013, and December 10, 2013. 817 of these vehicles are in the Unites States.

The problem in the aforementioned vehicles is that they may have been assembled with transmissions whose housings were damaged during the manufacturing process. The housings may crack and fracture, disable the vehicle and thus increase the risk of a collision. This recall is also expected to start in mid-November. Dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and fix them, if necessary. The repairs will be performed for free.

The third recall, while not official yet, is mentioned in Infiniti’s documents for the dealers. The problem is connected with a programming error which may cause gradual unintended acceleration. Affected are nearly 6,562 in the USA. Vehicles covered by the recall are model-years 2011-2013 M35, 2014 Q50 and 2014-2015 Q70 Hybrids. Owners with questions about these Infiniti recalls may contact the automaker at 800-647-7261 for more information.
