Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 24 complaints on file for the 1995 Infiniti J30 — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
A HARNESS CONNECTOR PROTECTOR LOCATED NEAR THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER CAN IGNITE DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE COMBUSTION GAS GENERATED BY THE PRE-TENSIONER WHEN THE DEVICE IS TRIGGERED.
Consequence
A FIRE CAN OCCUR IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THESE VEHICLES.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HARNESS CONNECTOR PROTECTORS WITH ONES HAVING SUFFICIENT RESISTANCE TO THE COMBUSTION GAS OF THE PRE-TENSIONERS WHEN ACTIVATED.
