Infiniti Q50: Unintended Acceleration
Infiniti Q50 and Q70 Recall Summary Infiniti is recalling 3,022 Q50 and Q70 vehicles in the United Kingdom because a faulty throttle position sensor may cause the engine control system to malfunction and make the vehicle accelerate on its own without the driver pressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle can still be stopped by applying the brakes. Infiniti will fix the issue by updating the engine control software.

- Vehicles: Infiniti Q50, Infiniti Q70. Units affected: 3,022
- Reason
- It has been identified that under certain circumstances the throttle position sensor may send an error signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). As a result the ECM may not operate as intended and the vehicle may accelerate gradually without the driver operating the throttle pedal. However this acceleration can be overridden by application of the brakes. Remedy: Recall all affected vehicles to install new software of the ECM.
