## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2019 INFINITI QX50 vehicles.  In the event of a crash in very cold temperatures, the trim cover may separate unexpectedly from the passenger\-side knee air bag module instead of splitting at  the trim cover tear seam as designed.


## What can happen

If the passenger\-side knee air bag cover detaches during deployment, it can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

INFINITI will notify owners, and retailers will replace the passenger\-side knee air bag module, free of charge.  The recall began October 23, 2018.  Owners may contact INFINITI customer service at 1\-800\-662\-6200.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
