Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Infiniti QX55 shows a moderate complaint profile, with eight complaints reported, compared to only four in 2023, indicating a slight decline in issues after the target year. Recalls remained steady at one each year, while investigations stayed constant at one, suggesting no surge in regulatory scrutiny. The 86 total safety bulletins (TSBs) for 2022, higher than the 54 in 2023, reflect ongoing manufacturer attention to potential defects. The primary complaint categories for 2022—engine (3), engine/fuel system (1), forward collision avoidance (1), and engine cooling (1)—highlight that most concerns were mechanical rather than safety-critical, and the absence of crash or fire complaints reinforces this. Overall, the 2022 model sits near the peak of the recall/complaint trend for the generation but has no major safety red flags, making it a reasonably reliable year to consider buying.
