2019 Infiniti QX50 recalls

Recall 25V-437: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Jun 27, 2025 · 443,899 vehicles affected · Nissan North America, Inc.

Problem: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. The engine bearings may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure.

Risk: Engine failure increases the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

Fix: Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 8, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25A8/A9 and R25B1/B2.

Recall 19V-654: Back Over Prevention

Reported Sep 12, 2019 · 1,228,830 vehicles affected · Nissan North America, Inc.

Problem: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

Recall 18V-593: Air Bags

Reported Sep 6, 2018 · 1,671 vehicles affected · Nissan North America, Inc.

Problem: 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.

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

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. Owners may contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

Recent 2019 Infiniti QX50 complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Engine · reported Nov 6, 2026

This complaint concerns a 2019 Infiniti QX50 with a 2.0L VC-Turbo engine affected by NHTSA Safety Recall 25V437, involving potential engine bearing failure, loss of power, and fire risk. Before purchasing the vehicle at auction, we performed due diligence by obtaining an AutoCheck history report, which revealed no issues suggesting warranty or recall coverage had been compromised. Before our purchase, Infiniti performed a recall inspection, documented engine sludge but no metallic debris, reassembled the oil pan, and marked the recall completed. The sludge findings were never disclosed to us…

Power Train · reported Oct 13, 2026

On October 11, 2026, while driving my 2019 Infiniti QX50, I experienced a sudden loss of engine power. The check-engine light began flashing, the engine started shaking and making a knocking noise, and the vehicle would not accelerate beyond approximately 20 mph despite pressing the accelerator. This unexpected loss of power created a serious safety concern because I could no longer maintain normal driving speeds. In February 2026, at approximately 170,450 miles, my vehicle underwent an inspection at Infiniti of South Atlanta under NHTSA safety recall 25V437, involving defective engine…

Unknown or Other · reported Oct 12, 2026

While driving on the highway, all of a sudden I heard a very loud boom and then heard some wind/air movement. The sunroom shade was closed but when i pulled over and got out, the sunroof was shattered and the sunroom framing was coming off the car. The glass that fell into the car was caught by the sunroof shade but there were large chunks of glass on the outside too with some pointing outward (as if explosion from inside and pushed it out). If the shade was open, glass would have fallen into the car and potentially caused injury to me and my dog. There were no damage or cracks in the window…

Engine · reported Oct 11, 2026

While driving my 2019 Infiniti QX50, the engine suddenly lost significant power and entered failsafe (limp) mode due to a diagnosed VCR actuator fault (diagnostic codes P11A8-00 and P11AC-00). The sudden power loss caused a single-vehicle accident. No injuries. The vehicle had recall 25V437 service performed at Infiniti of White Plains on 08/27/2026. The check engine light was documented as ON during that visit. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the VCR actuator failure mode can cause sudden power loss creating a crash risk.
