***** Retailer Announcement *****
INFINITI is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the low-pressure fuel hose on 15,617
specific MY2016-18 INFINITI Q50 (V37) and MY2017-18 INFINITI Q60 (CV37) vehicles equipped with
M274 2.0L engines. The low-pressure fuel hose connected to the fuel pump may not meet INFINITI
design specifications. As a result, a small amount of fuel may seep out at the clamped portion under cold
temperature and cold engine conditions leading to a detectable fuel smell.
***** What Retailers Should Do *****
1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this service action using Service Comm or DBS National Service
History – Open Campaign I.D. P8314
 New vehicles in retailer inventory can also be identified using DBS (Sales-> Vehicle Inventory,
and filter by Open Campaign).
 Refer to IPSB 15-286 for additional information
 Please continue to check newly arriving inventory for service action applicability.
2. Retailers should use campaign bulletin ITB18-024 to replace the low-pressure fuel hose on affected
vehicles.
3. The service department should submit the applicable warranty claim for the action performed so it
can be closed on Service Comm and release the vehicle.

***** Retailer Responsibility *****
It is the retailer’s responsibility to check SERVICE COMM or National Service History – Open
Campaigns using the appropriate Campaign I.D. for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within
the range of this voluntary service campaign, which for any reason enters the service
department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist)
owners and vehicles in retailer inventory. If a VIN subject to this voluntary service campaign was part
of a retailer trade, the letter associated with that VIN should be forwarded to the appropriate retailer
for service completion.
