Infiniti QX56

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could be defective. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. It could also cause the inflator to rupture. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward the occupants or cause damage to the airbag and prevent it from inflating properly. 
 
Safety Risk: 
If the vehicle is involved in a crash where the airbag deploys, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury or death. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver-front airbag inflator or airbag module.

On certain vehicles, the fuel pressure sensor connected to the engine fuel delivery rail may not have been sufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly.  Should the pressure sensor loosen, fuel could leak past a gasket used in the connection between the sensor and the rail.  Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the pressure sensor and tighten to specification.  Note:  This is an expansion of recall 2012-074.  Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaign are not affected because that remedy would have corrected the subject condition.

On certain vehicles, the driver's (frontal) airbag inflator was built with an incorrect part which could cause the inflator to rupture during a deployment.  In a crash, this may cause airbag components to separate, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's (frontal) airbag.

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210.1 - User-ready Tether Anchorages for Restraint Systems.  Specifically, the pictograms identifying the location of the tether anchors measure 15 mm in height instead of 20 mm as required by the Standard.  Correction: Since this non-compliance condition does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.

On certain vehicles, the fuel pressure sensor connected to the engine fuel delivery rail may not have been sufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly.  Should the pressure sensor loosen, fuel could leak past a gasket used in the connection between the sensor and rail.  Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect for fuel leakage from the pressure sensor and the fuel rail.  If there are no signs of a fuel leak, the fuel pressure sensor will be tightened to specifications.  If a fuel leak is confirmed, the gasket between the sensor and the fuel delivery rail will be replaced, and the sensor will be tightened.
