Engine Bearing Recall MY19-22 QX50 and MY22 QX55

Engine Bearing Recall MY19-22 QX50 and MY22 QX55

Certain 19-22 QX50’s and 22 QX55’s may be equipped with an engine that contains a manufacturing defect that affects specific engine bearings and/or engine components. As a result, these components may progressively fail over time, leading to engine damage and engine failure. If the engine fails while driving, it can result in a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash. In certain cases, a bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

Yes.

INFINITI has identified instances of bearing failures in certain vehicles equipped with the 4- cylinder 2.0L Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. These issues may be attributed to a potential manufacturing defect affecting specific engine bearings—namely the main, A-, C-, and L-link bearings—or associated engine components. Such defects can lead to engine damage and, in some cases, complete engine failure.

Bearing degradation typically occurs progressively rather than suddenly. As a result, affected vehicles often exhibit multiple early warning signs, including unusual engine noises, rough engine performance, illumination of the malfunction indicator light (MIL), and warning messages displayed in the instrument cluster. Should the engine fail while the vehicle is in motion, it may result in a loss of motive power (LOMP), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, your INFINITI retailer will inspect the engine oil pan for the presence of specific metal debris. In cases where specific debris is confirmed, the engine will be replaced.

If your vehicle is subject to this campaign, you will receive an Owner Notification letter from INFINITI, which will provide instructions on how to remedy your vehicle. Affected owners are encouraged to have their vehicles remedied as soon as possible upon notification.

No. The remedy will be performed for the client free of charge for parts and labor.
