These vehicles have a driveshaft that may break, NHTSA said. A broken driveshaft can cause a loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash, or may disable the parking brake, increasing the risk of a rollaway and injury to occupants.

Nissan is notifying owners and dealers will replace the driveshaft, free of charge.

This recall began on January 29, 2021.

Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Infiniti, Nissan Vehicles Equipped with Obsolete Modems

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Nissan North America alleging that the company fitted certain 2013-2018 Infiniti and Nissan vehicles with an obsolete 3G modem, leaving drivers without the use of several internet-enabled features after AT&T’s 3G phaseout in 2022.

The complaint alleges that NissanConnect Services, NissanConnect EV, Infiniti InTouch Services and Infiniti Connection driver-assist systems were rendered inoperable after AT&T decommissioned its 3G network. Without internet connection, the services, and, consequently, the vehicles’ stolen vehicle locator, remote lights, remote unlocking, horn triggering and automatic crash notification features, among others, no longer work, according to the class action.

The vehicle models allegedly equipped with obsolete 3G telematics include:

• 2016-2017 Nissan Leaf;
• 2016-2017 Nissan Altima;
• 2017-2018 Nissan GT-R;

• 2013-2017 Infiniti QX60;
• 2013-2017 Infiniti QX56; and

The class action is seeking to include all persons and entities in the U.S. who bought any of the Nissan or Infiniti vehicle models listed above for end use and not for resale.
