On the filed record so far, the 2017 is the cleanest QX50 year we hold, and the 2022 the one to check hardest.

Both figures are divided by the number of years the car has been on sale, because otherwise the oldest year on the page loses every time simply for having been around longer. The current model year and any year under three on the road are left out: their records are not finished.

Common questions about the Infiniti QX50

Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kits

Which Infiniti QX50 year is the best used buy?

On the recall record, the 2017 QX50 comes out top of the years before the current one: Safety Signal grade A (100/100), 0 recalls and 13 owner complaints on file. That ranks paperwork, not condition — a specific car's history and service record still decide it.

What Infiniti QX50 years should I avoid?

No QX50 model year carries a D or F Safety Signal or a standing advisory. The ranking page orders every year on recalls and complaints per year on the road, and says why.

How many recalls does the Infiniti QX50 have?

Across model years 2016–2025, NHTSA has posted 11 recall campaigns for the Infiniti QX50. They are counted per model year in the table above, because a campaign almost never covers the whole run — it covers a build range.
