Manufacturer

What Happened
The accelerator pedal sensor in your Infiniti is like a messenger that tells your engine how hard to accelerate. Over time, this sensor can send the wrong signal, causing your engine to slow down or stall.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor fails, your engine could stall when you're stopping or idling, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your Infiniti dealer will replace the faulty sensor and update your engine's computer, and you won't have to pay a thing. Just wait for the recall notice and schedule the repair when you get it.
