2021 Infiniti Q60 Safety Report

The 2021 INFINITI Q60 exhibits a relatively clean safety record based on the limited NHTSA data available, with only 3 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported. This low complaint volume suggests a generally reliable vehicle in its early years. However, it's important to note that NHTSA has not provided overall, frontal, side, or rollover safety ratings for this specific model year, making a comprehensive crash test performance assessment impossible from this data. Despite the low complaint count, two significant recalls have been issued. One recall addresses a 'BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION' issue where a software error could deactivate the rear-view camera display, increasing the risk of a crash. The second recall, 'ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM):SOFTWARE', highlights a potential issue where the Engine Control Module (ECM) might incorrectly reduce engine power after rapid acceleration, leading to an engine stall and increased crash risk. These recalls indicate critical safety concerns identified by the manufacturer. Complaint patterns, though few, point to issues with 'STRUCTURE' (1 complaint), 'ENGINE' (1 complaint), and a combined 'POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE' (1 complaint). The engine-related complaints, including instances of the vehicle entering 'limp mode' or losing all power at highway speeds, align with the concerns addressed by the ECM software recall. The 'STRUCTURE' complaint mentions a fractured aluminum bracket, indicating a potential manufacturing or design flaw. Overall, while the complaint volume is low, the nature of the recalls and the few reported issues suggest potential for serious mechanical or electronic failures.

Our recommendation: Given the low complaint volume but critical recalls, ensure all recall remedies have been performed; otherwise, the 2021 INFINITI Q60 appears to be a reasonably reliable vehicle based on available NHTSA data.
