It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 13 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0106 on 5 Infiniti model years (2016–2018). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2018 Q50 (3 documents), 2017 Q50 (3 documents), 2016 Q50 (3 documents).
Does P0106 on a Infiniti mean it is recalled?
