Infiniti FX45, FX35: Brakes

Affects Infiniti FX45, FX35 · 2003 — about 2K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the tightening torque for the front brake caliper mounting bolts may not be adequate. This could result in the upper mounting bolt coming loose and falling out. If this occurs, it would allow the caliper to rotate on the lower mounting bolt and contact the inside of the road wheel. This would result in noticeable noise and vibration. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the lower mounting bolt could also come loose and fall out, resulting in separation of the brake caliper from the mounting bracket. This could damage the brake hose to the caliper or damage the road wheel, causing an air leak from the tire. Correction: Dealer will re torque the front brake caliper mounting bolts.
