Defect

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