What's wrong?
A wheel lug nut is the fastener that holds the wheel tight against the hub. It clamps the wheel in place so the tire, wheel, and hub move together under braking, turning, and normal road vibration. On the 2014 QX60, Pathfinder, and Rogue, the issue is on the right-side wheels.
One lug nut on each affected right-side wheel was not tightened correctly during assembly. A loose lug nut does not hold its share of the clamping force. As the vehicle is driven, the remaining hardware takes more of the load, and the wheel is no longer secured the way it was designed to be.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on noise, vibration, or a dashboard light to confirm this defect.

A matching 2014 model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A loose lug nut can fall off and allow the remaining lug nuts to loosen. That can result in wheel separation and increase the risk of a crash. If your VIN is included, schedule the dealer inspection promptly and avoid delaying the repair. Repair will be free at any franchised INFINITI dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 QX60, Pathfinder, or Rogue is included in this recall.
- Wait for the owner notice if you have not received one, then contact a franchised INFINITI dealer for recall instructions.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the right-side wheel lug nuts and tighten any loose lug nuts to the correct specification.
- Reference recall number 14V229 when you call so the service desk can find the campaign quickly.
- Drive cautiously until the lug-nut inspection is complete, and stop driving if you hear wheel noise or feel vibration.
What happens at the repair
The known dealer remedy is straightforward. At the dealer, an INFINITI technician inspects the right-side wheel lug nuts and tightens any loose lug nuts to the correct specification. The filing says the recall was expected to begin by the end of June 2014. Parts and labor are covered under the recall once the dealer repair is available for your VIN.
