P0456 Code: 2024 Infiniti QX80 – What It Means & Cost to Fix

2024 Infiniti QX80 P0456 Code: EVAP Leak on the All-New QX80

P0456 on the All-New 2024 Infiniti QX80

A P0456 code on your 2024 Infiniti QX80—completely redesigned with a new 3.5L twin-turbo V6 replacing the previous 5.6L V8—indicates the ECM has detected a very small leak (0.020-inch equivalent) in the EVAP system. As a first-year redesign on a new platform, early EVAP codes are typically minor and fully covered by Infiniti's generous warranty.

Likely Causes

  1. Gas cap not fully seated (30%) — The simplest cause on any vehicle.
  2. Software calibration sensitivity (25%) — First-year redesigns commonly need calibration refinements.
  3. Factory EVAP connection variance (20%) — New platform assembly may have fittings not fully engaged.
  4. Purge or vent valve irregularity (13%) — A marginally out-of-spec component.
  5. New seal break-in (7%) — Fresh seals needing thermal cycling.
  6. Transport artifact (5%) — Connection disturbed during delivery.

What to Do

  1. Check the gas cap — Remove, inspect, reinstall firmly.
  2. Infiniti dealer visit — Full warranty, zero cost. CONSULT diagnostics and TSB check.
  3. Software update and repair — Dealer handles everything.

Cost

  • Under warranty: $0—covered under 4-year/60,000-mile warranty through 2028
  • Gas cap (DIY): $15–$35

Warranty

Your 2024 QX80 carries Infiniti's 4-year/60,000-mile basic warranty through 2028 and federal emissions coverage for 8 years/80,000 miles through 2032. No reason to pay out of pocket.
