Infiniti is recalling a certain number of 2014 Q50 and 2014-2015 Q70 units in Canada due to various powertrain issues.
First, on 73 Q50 Hybrid sedans, the transmission housing may have been damaged during manufacturing. This could allow a crack in the housing to form, and could eventually result in a transmission housing fracture, which would result in debris being spread onto the roadway. Dealers will replace the transmission assembly if cracks are found during inspection.
Another 419 Q50 Hybrid units may suffer from bad communication between the electric motor inverter and the transmission control module, potentially causing a loss of motive power and illuminating the warning lamp. Dealers will update vehicle software to fix the problem.
Finally, a defect in ECU programming in 511 Q50 Hybrid and Q70 Hybrid models could cause a gradual throttle increase without driver input, so dealers will update vehicle software. Note: Applying the brake would allow the vehicle to be slowed or stopped.
