What Happened
The driveshaft in your vehicle is like a long rod that connects your transmission to your wheels, allowing your car to move. In certain models, this driveshaft can weaken and break over time.

If the driveshaft fails, you could lose power to your wheels, making it hard to control your vehicle. In the worst case, you might experience a vehicle roll away when parked, which could lead to an accident.
Free Fix
Your INFINITI dealer will replace the driveshaft with a new one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
