Infiniti Q50

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the driveshaft may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the driveshaft could break and cause a loss of power to the wheels. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked and the parking brake isn't applied, the vehicle could roll away. 
Note: This recall only affects two-wheel-drive (2WD) models. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A parked vehicle that rolls away could also create the risk of an injury or a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driveshaft.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the navigation screen/multifunction control touch screen not to work when the vehicle is started. If this happens, the rearview camera image will not appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. 
Note: This can happen if the "privacy mode" feature is activated and the vehicle is not started in the following 14 days. 

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Action: 
Infiniti will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the telematics control unit (TCU).

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the front steering knuckles may not have been properly heat-treated. As a result, a strong impact (such as hitting a curb) could cause a steering knuckle to bend or break. If this happens, the steering wheel may become off-center or there could be a loss of steering control and a wheel could separate. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of steering control and/or a wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle. 

Corrective Actions: 
Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the production date on the casting stamp of the front steering knuckles. Parts that are affected by this problem will be replaced.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a programming error in the engine control module (ECM) could cause loss of engine power and/or cause the engine to stall. 
Note: The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may turn on before an engine stall happens. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
 
Corrective Actions: 
Infiniti will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the ECM software.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse. This could cause a reduction in rear visibility if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display. Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on. 
 
Safety Risk: 
Reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash.
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.
