Problem: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 17 inch alloy wheels, the wheels may have a casting defect from which cracks could propagate as the vehicle is being driven.

Risk: If a sufficient number of cracks develop, the wheel could fail and separate from the mounting hub, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will replace these wheels. Owner notification began april 28, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.
