Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,100 model-year 2012-13 Infiniti M35h luxury hybrid sedans manufactured between March 23, 2010, and Sept. 9, 2013
The Problem: A system overheat condition may cause the hybrid powertrain control module to shut off the engine while the car is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will reprogram the hybrid control module, automatic transmission control unit and inverter software for free.
What Owners Should Do: Infiniti manufacturer Nissan will begin notifying owners Sept. 6. Owners can call Nissan at 800-647-7261, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
