Recall 10V175 affects 134,215 2005-2007 INFINITI G35 vehicles for passenger-airbag sensor wiring wear. Repair is free at any franchised INFINITI dealer.
INFINITI is recalling 134,215 2005-2007 G35 sedans and coupes because wiring under the front passenger seat can wear or oxidize at the sensor terminals. In a crash, that signal interruption can keep the passenger airbag from deploying, increasing injury risk, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The 2005-2007 INFINITI G35 uses sensors under the front passenger seat to help manage the passenger air bag system. The belt tension sensor reads load on the seat belt, and the occupant detection sensor control unit helps identify when a passenger is in the seat. These signals help the air bag system respond to the person and seat belt condition in that position.
On affected G35 sedans and coupes, the wire harness between those parts can move relative to the seat structure. That movement wears the connector terminals and allows oxidation to build up on the metal contacts. Once the connection degrades, the signal between the sensors and the control unit can be interrupted.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is unlikely to notice the connector wear under the seat until the air bag system detects the interrupted signal or the vehicle is inspected for the recall.
Who's affected?
The same two components are listed across the full 2005-2007 G35 scope: the seat assembly and air bag system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific car.
What's the safety risk?
In a crash, the airbag can fail to deploy. That raises the risk of injury for the driver or passenger who expects the restraint system to work. If your VIN is included, keep seat belts fastened and arrange the recall repair through an INFINITI dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised INFINITI dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an INFINITI technician repairs the front passenger seat sensor wiring issue covered by recall 10V175. The repair addresses the harness connection between the belt tension sensor and the occupant detection sensor control unit, where movement under the seat can wear or oxidize the terminals and interrupt the signal. The source remedy says INFINITI notified owners and dealers repaired the vehicles free of charge, with the safety recall beginning on July 12, 2010. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V175?
Recall 10V175 covers 134,215 2005-2007 INFINITI G35 vehicles with a front-passenger-seat sensor harness problem. Wear or oxidation at the belt tension sensor and occupant detection sensor connection can interrupt the signal and stop the passenger airbag from deploying in a crash.
