What's wrong?
The automatic transmission in the 2014 INFINITI Q50 Hybrid and Q70 Hybrid sends power from the hybrid drivetrain to the wheels and changes gear ratios as speed and load change. Its housing is the metal case around the transmission. That case holds the internal shafts, gears, seals, and fluid passages in the right position.
This recall is about transmission housings damaged during manufacturing, before the transmission was installed in the vehicle. A housing that starts out damaged lacks the normal structural integrity the transmission depends on. That damage affects the case that keeps internal parts aligned and keeps transmission fluid contained.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not rely on noise, a warning light, or a change in shifting to confirm whether their vehicle is included.
Who's affected?
Both Q50 Hybrid and Q70 Hybrid vehicles share the same automatic transmission scope in this recall.

What's the safety risk?
Damaged transmission housings can crack and fracture. That can disable the vehicle and leave road debris behind, increasing crash risk. Drive cautiously and schedule the dealer inspection soon. Repair will be free at any franchised INFINITI dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 INFINITI Q50 Hybrid or Q70 Hybrid is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised INFINITI dealer and ask for the free transmission inspection.
- Schedule the transmission-housing inspection so the dealer can replace the transmission assembly if cracks are found.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, or reference recall number 14V582 when you call.
- Avoid driving the vehicle if the transmission cracks, sheds road debris, or disables the vehicle before the dealer inspects it.
What happens at the repair
The filing says owner notification began on November 10, 2014. At the dealer, an INFINITI technician inspects the transmission assembly for cracks in the housing. If cracks are found, the technician replaces the transmission assembly. The repair path is through an INFINITI dealer, and the inspection and any required replacement are free under the recall once the dealer remedy is open for the vehicle.
