Infiniti Q70 Recalls (2014-2019)
The Infiniti Q70 has been the subject of 6 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2014 to 2019 model years. They cluster mostly around the power train, back over prevention, and engine and engine cooling.
The Infiniti Q70 scores 83 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 67% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 17% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 6 campaigns span 6 model years of the Infiniti Q70. The single largest affected 1,228,830 vehicles, over back over prevention. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Q70 problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Infiniti Q70 may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
