INTRODUCTION
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS 225) specifies certain requirements for child seat anchorage systems in vehicles. Some 2005 model year Infiniti FX35/45 vehicles may have rear child seat safety anchor brackets which do not meet the location requirement in this standard. This may cause difficulty in attaching some child seats to these brackets. If a child seat is not secured there is an increased risk of injury in a crash. Infiniti is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to install longer rear child seat anchor brackets free of charge.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Infiniti has assigned identification number R0604 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN THIS CAMPAIGN
The number of vehicles in this campaign is approximately 20,900.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the Infiniti dealers responsibility to check Infiniti Net for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this Voluntary Service Campaign (R0604) that enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in an Infiniti dealer's inventory.
