INFINITI is recalling 275 2020 Q60 vehicles equipped with rear seat belt assemblies that use a dual-mode locking mechanism because the webbing sensor locking mechanism can fail to lock as intended. In a crash with multiple impacts, the belt can fail to properly restrain the occupant, increasing injury risk; an INFINITI dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The rear seat belt assembly in the 2020 INFINITI Q60 includes the belt webbing, the tongue, and the locking hardware that restrains a rear passenger. In NHTSA campaign 20V145, the affected rear belts use a dual-mode locking system with a webbing sensor and a G-sensor. The webbing sensor reacts when belt material pulls out quickly, while the G-sensor reacts to vehicle movement.
The problem is inside the webbing sensor. A specific spring inside that sensor was installed in the wrong position. That spring can interfere with another part in the sensor mechanism, so the webbing sensor lock does not work as intended. Nissan described the webbing sensor as a backup to the G-sensor, but a backup lock still needs to work correctly.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can look normal and pull normally during everyday use, so an owner is not expected to hear a noise, see a warning light, or feel a clear change before the locking problem appears.

What's the safety risk?
In a crash with multiple impacts, the rear seat belt can fail to restrain the occupant properly, increasing the risk of injury. This defect has no warning sign before failure, so confirm whether your 2020 Q60 is included and schedule the dealer inspection. Repair will be free at any franchised INFINITI dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 INFINITI Q60 is included in this recall.
- Check for the INFINITI owner notice mailed on May 4, 2020 before calling the dealer.
- Contact a franchised INFINITI dealer and ask about the free rear seat belt assembly inspection and replacement that fixes the locking mechanism that does not lock as intended.
- Reference recall number 20V145 when you call, and use the owner notice if you have it.
- Use the rear seats cautiously until the repair is complete, since the rear seat belt does not properly restrain an occupant in a crash involving multiple impacts.
What happens at the repair
Once the repair is available, an INFINITI technician will inspect the rear seat belt assembly production dates and replace any rear seat belt assemblies covered by the recall. The dealer repair will be free, with parts and labor covered. This record says there is no separate reimbursement program for repairs done before the owner notice because the 2020 Q60 vehicles were still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
