QX30 · driver's airbag may deploy
2 Jan 2018 · R/2017/293
The steering column has no electrical connection to ground other than the spiral cable. In the event that the spiral cable is damaged the airbag warning light will illuminate. If the customer ignores the warning light and continues to drive for extended periods electrostatic charge may be discharged through the electrical circuit of the drivers airbag. In an extreme case this discharge could be sufficient to trigger an unintended deployment of the driver airbag.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a slip ring to the steering column on all potentially affected vehicles.

Q50 · automatic transmission malfunction may affect vehicle emissions
2 Jan 2018 · R/2017/305
Incorrect software in the engine control module can lead to malfunctions of the automatic transmission that could affect vehicle emissions. There may be no communication of the defect to the driver (MIL) and the defect would not be visible to a scanning diagnostic tool during servicing. There is no known concern affecting the safety of the automatic transmission in relation to this campaign but vehicle emissions may not be to the manufacturers specification.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogram the Electronic Control Module with latest level software.

Q30 · airbag may not deploy correctly
1 Feb 2017 · R/2016/301
It has been identified that due to a manufacturing error at the airbag manufacturer the chemical composition of the initiator (the compound that triggers the airbag deployment) of a limited number of passenger airbag inflators may not be to specification. Therefore it is possible that an affected airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to have the affected airbags replace with a new quality assured component.

QX30 · anchorage point may be incorrectly positioned and may not restrain the passenger
12 Dec 2016 · R/2016/228
Some vehicles may have an incorrectly assembled front seat belt with the right hand seat belt fitted on the left hand side or vice versa. This could cause the seat belt upper anchorage to be used at an incorrect angle; making it difficult for the customer to apply the seatbelt or slowing the retraction speed when removing the belt. In an extreme case the front seat belt may not restrain the front seat passenger.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary replace the front seat belts.

Q30 · rear seat belt may not secure the passenger
12 Dec 2016 · R/2016/227
The rear seat buckle nuts may not be fully secure. In this condition the seat belt buckle may make a rattle noise. In an extreme case the nut may come off and the rear seat belts will not restrain the rear seat passengers.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary torque the rear seat belt buckles nuts.

Q70 · engine may stall
30 Aug 2016 · R/2016/170
If the water pump fails in the hybrid power train the MIL will illuminate. The Owner's Manual informs the driver to take the vehicle to a dealership or the transmission could be compromised. However the engine logic will stop the engine after approximately five minutes of driving. As this would be an unexpected event the driver and occupants could be left in a dangerous situation.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogram the ECU to enable a limp-home mode which will allow the vehicle to get to a dealership under reduced power.

Q70 · oil may leak engine may stall
12 Mar 2015 · R/2015/027
Due to insufficient sealing of the timing chain tensioner gasket the timing chain tensioner may loosen and an oil leak may occur from the engine. If t the vehicle continues to be driven engine oil could leak onto the road and the engine might stall due to low oil level. In an extreme case and in the presence of an ignition source there may be an increased risk of a fire.
Fix: On affected vehicles replace the timing chain tensioner gasket with new.

Q50 · vehicle may cut out
15 Dec 2014 · R/2014/120
It has been identified that due to a software error the traction motor inverter may incorrectly diagnose communication between the inverter and the transmission control module (TCM). This can cause the inverter system to suddenly shut down. If the vehicle is being driven in Electric Vehicle (EV i.e. engine off) the power to the electric motor may be cut resulting in the vehicle coming to a sudden stop.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to install new software for the traction motor inverter control module.

Q70 · under extreme circumstances transmission may detach
15 Dec 2014 · R/2014/121
It has been identified that due to an issue during the casting process of the front of the transmission casing the casting may become cracked during the release phase of the operation. If the vehicle is driven at high speed in this condition the crack can grow and cause a vibration. In an extreme case the transmission may detach from the vehicle.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the transmission casing for cracks and replace any transmission are found to be cracked.

Q50 · unintended acceleration
15 Dec 2014 · R/2014/122
It has been identified that under certain circumstances the throttle position sensor may send an error signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). As a result the ECM may not operate as intended and the vehicle may accelerate gradually without the driver operating the throttle pedal. However this acceleration can be overridden by application of the brakes.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to install new software of the ECM.
