Infiniti Q50: Vehicle May Cut Out
Infiniti Q50 and Q70 Recall Summary Infiniti is recalling approximately 200 Q50 and Q70 vehicles in the United Kingdom due to a software error in the traction motor inverter that can cause incorrect communication with the transmission control module. This error may cause the inverter system to shut down suddenly, which could cut power to the electric motor while the vehicle is operating in electric-only mode, resulting in a sudden loss of power. Infiniti will install updated software on the affected vehicles to fix this issue.
