Infiniti Q60 problems and known issues

By CarWhere Research · Updated November 5, 2026

The all-new Q60 coupe, launched for 2017, has a short recall list with no engine-hardware campaigns in the NHTSA dataset. The main items are a fuel pump software stall on 2017 Q60s with the 2.0L engine (17V476), a 2021 engine computer stall (21V234), rear seat belts on some 2020 cars and two rear camera software fixes.

CarWhere lists 5 documented Q60 issues, including 5 NHTSA safety recalls, each with affected years, powertrains, symptoms, pre-purchase checks and a source. Recall entries come from NHTSA's recall dataset on the DOT open-data portal, which may not list every campaign, so run the specific VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup.

Engine computer may cut fuel after hard acceleration and stall (recall 21V234) (2021)

Safety recall

Generation:: Q60 all-new coupe (2017 onward)
Years:: 2021
Powertrain:: All

Certain 2021 Q50 and Q60 models are covered because, after detecting rapid acceleration, the engine control module may wrongly reduce power and fuel supply, which can stall the engine. Dealers reprogram the ECM software free of charge (Infiniti campaign R20C5). The 12,943 figure covers units across all listed models, not just the Q60.

Symptoms

Engine stalls or loses power after a hard launch

Rear seat belts may not lock (recall 20V145) (2020)

Safety recall

Generation:: Q60 all-new coupe (2017 onward)
Years:: 2020
Powertrain:: All with dual-mode rear seat belts

Certain 2020 Q60s with dual-mode locking rear seat belts may have a webbing-sensor locking mechanism that does not lock as intended, so in a crash with multiple impacts the belt may not restrain the occupant. Dealers check the belt production dates and replace them as needed, free of charge. NHTSA lists 275 vehicles in the campaign.

Symptoms

Rear belt does not lock when pulled sharply

Back-up camera image can be turned off in settings (FMVSS 111) (recall 19V654) (2018–2019)

Safety recall

Generation:: Q60 all-new coupe (2017 onward)
Years:: 2018–2019
Powertrain:: All

This campaign covers 2018–2019 Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 models and 2019 QX50, QX60, Q70 and Q70L models, along with most 2018–2019 Nissan models. The camera display settings can be adjusted so the rearview image is no longer visible, and the system keeps that setting the next time the vehicle is put in reverse, which does not meet the federal rear-visibility standard. Dealers update the camera software free of charge. The 1,228,830 figure covers units across all listed models, not just the Q60.

Symptoms

Screen shows no rear image when shifted into reverse

Safety recall

Years:: 2017
Powertrain:: 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder

Certain 2016–2018 Q50s and 2017 Q60s with the 2.0L engine have fuel pump control software that can let the main tank run too low to feed the engine, causing a stall while driving.

Symptoms

Engine stalls with fuel still showing in the tank

Frequently asked questions

Does the Infiniti Q60 have recalls?

Yes, a few. Recall 17V476 reprograms fuel pump software on 2017 Q60s with the 2.0L engine, 20V145 checks rear seat belts on 2020 cars, 21V234 updates the engine computer on 2021 cars, and 19V654 and 21V599 fix rear camera display software.

Why can a 2021 Q60 stall?

Under recall 21V234, the engine control module on certain 2021 Q50 and Q60 models may wrongly cut power and fuel after detecting rapid acceleration, which can stall the engine. Dealers reprogram the ECM for free.

What engine is in the Q60 Red Sport 400?

A VR-series 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. It arrived with the all-new 2017 Q60, and no recall in the NHTSA dataset is specific to it.

Was the Q60 once called the G37?

Yes. For 2014 Infiniti renamed the G37 Coupe as the Q60 Coupe and the G37 Convertible as the Q60 Convertible. The all-new Q60 coupe followed for 2017.

How do I check a used Q60 for open recalls?

Enter the 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and ask an Infiniti retailer for repair orders showing completed recall work.
