2005 INFINITI FX45 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2005 INFINITI FX45 has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to air bag inflators, specifically passenger side frontal air bag modules. These recalls primarily address potential ruptures of air bag inflators that could cause injury during deployment.
There are five recalls affecting the 2005 FX45, all involving the passenger side frontal air bag inflator system. These recalls address risks posed by inflators that may rupture due to propellant degradation when exposed to high absolute humidity and temperature changes. The recalls include replacements of air bag inflators free of charge.
- Air bag inflator rupture risk. Recall 15V226000 affects 12,606 vehicles in humid regions. The passenger air bag inflator may rupture upon deployment, sending metal fragments into occupants, risking serious injury or death. Dealers will replace the inflator at no cost.
- Passenger air bag defect. Recall 15V287000 initially covered 1,090,569 vehicles but excluded 2004-2005 FX35 and FX45 models later. Inflators may rupture with metal fragments during deployment. Owners are notified for free replacement of the inflator.
- Humidity-related inflator failure. Recall 16V349000 involves 413,852 vehicles including the 2005 FX45. Long-term exposure to humidity and temperature cycling can degrade the inflator propellant, increasing rupture risk. Nissan will replace the passenger air bag inflator free of charge.
- Interim inflator component recall. Recall 20V008000 affects 307,962 vehicles with interim Takata inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate. These inflators may explode under humid, high-temperature conditions, posing injury risks from metal fragments. Owners receive free replacement with desiccated inflators.
- Long-term inflator degradation. Recall 17V028000 covers 152,554 vehicles including 2005-2008 FX35 and FX45 in less humid states. Exposure to humidity and temperature cycling causes propellant degradation leading to potential inflator rupture. The remedy is a free replacement of the passenger air bag inflator.
Owners of the 2005 INFINITI FX45 dealing with repeated repairs related to air bag inflators, unresolved recall notifications, or safety defects may have rights under their state lemon law. Consulting a qualified attorney can clarify potential protections and remedies available for these issues.

The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
