There are 5 recalls affecting various airbag systems in the 2008 INFINITI FX35. These recalls mainly address defects with the passenger side frontal airbag inflators and cushions. The issues involve improper airbag folding and propellant degradation that could cause inflator ruptures.

Recalls
- Passenger airbag cushion. NHTSA Recall 21V139000 affects 26,158 vehicles including the 2008 FX35. The airbag cushion was folded incorrectly, which increases internal pressure and may tear the cushion when deployed. A tear could reduce airbag performance and raise injury risk. Dealers replace the front passenger airbag module free of charge.
- Passenger airbag inflator (Zone A). NHTSA Recall 16V349000 covers 413,852 vehicles including the 2008 FX35 originally sold or registered in certain humid and hot states. The inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation, sending metal fragments into occupants, causing serious injury or death. Nissan will replace the inflator free of charge.
- Passenger airbag inflator interim remedy. NHTSA Recall 20V008000 affects 307,962 vehicles including the 2008 FX35. Non-desiccated inflators used as interim replacement parts may explode from propellant degradation. Sharp metal fragments may injure occupants. Dealers replace inflators with desiccated versions free of charge.
- Passenger airbag inflator (Zone B and other regions). NHTSA Recall 17V028000 involves 152,554 vehicles including the 2008 FX35 sold or registered in a broad range of states with varying climates. The inflators may rupture during deployment due to propellant degradation after exposure to humidity and temperature cycling. Replacement of inflators is offered at no charge.
Owners dealing with recurring airbag failures or unresolved recall repairs may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a qualified attorney can help clarify options for pursuing remedies.
