Recall 10V072 covers 179,383 2008-2010 INFINITI QX56, Armada, Quest, and Titan vehicles for a loose brake pivot pin. Free repair at a franchised INFINITI dealer.

INFINITI is recalling 179,383 2008-2010 QX56, Armada, Quest, and Titan vehicles under recall 10V072 because the brake pedal pivot pin was not formed to specification. The pin can slide, leaving the pedal partly disengaged from its bracket, with noticeable looseness and reduced braking force that increases crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The brake pedal pivot pin in these 2008-2010 QX56, Armada, Quest, and Titan vehicles is the hinge point for the brake pedal. It holds the pedal to its bracket and lets the pedal rotate smoothly when you press down. That movement transfers your foot pressure into the brake system so the vehicle can slow or stop.

In affected vehicles, the end of the pivot pin was not formed to specification during manufacturing. That end is supposed to be shaped tightly enough to keep the pin locked in place. When it is not formed correctly, the pin can slide out of position and let the brake pedal partly separate from the bracket.

There is no warning sign before failure. Once the pin has moved, the pedal can feel loose, sit out of position, or fail to move normally when pressed.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

A brake pedal that feels unusually loose signals reduced braking force and an increased crash risk. If the pedal feels loose, slow down, leave extra stopping room, and schedule service promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised INFINITI dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2010 INFINITI QX56, Armada, Quest, or Titan is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised INFINITI dealer and ask whether the brake-pedal pivot-pin inspection and free brake pedal assembly replacement are open for your VIN.
  3. Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 10V072 when you call.
  4. Drive cautiously until the inspection is done. Leave extra following distance and stop driving if the brake pedal feels loose or braking force drops.
  5. Call INFINITI customer service at 1-800-647-7261 with questions about the inspection or dealer repair.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an INFINITI technician will inspect the brake pedal assembly to confirm whether the pivot pin was formed correctly. If the pin was not formed to specification, the technician will replace the brake pedal assembly. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. This repair addresses the pivot pin that can slide and let the brake pedal partly disengage from its bracket.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 10V072?

Recall 10V072 covers 179,383 2008-2010 INFINITI QX56, Armada, Quest, and Titan vehicles with a brake pedal pivot pin that was not formed to specification. The pin can slide, causing the pedal to partly separate from its bracket and reducing braking force.

What should I do if my 2008-2010 INFINITI QX56, Armada, Quest, or Titan is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 10V072. If it is, call a franchised INFINITI dealer and ask for the brake pedal pivot pin inspection. The dealer will replace the brake pedal assembly if needed, free of charge.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. For recall 10V072, the dealer inspects the brake pedal pivot pin and replaces the brake pedal assembly if needed, free of charge.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is reduced braking force. The brake pedal can feel unusually loose if the pivot pin slides and the pedal partly disengages from the bracket. That loss of braking force increases crash risk, so confirm your VIN and arrange the free dealer repair.

What if I bought this vehicle used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. If you bought the vehicle used and never received a letter, check your VIN and reference recall 10V072 when you call the franchised INFINITI dealer.
