The 2020 Lexus ES has two recalls, the more serious being an engine coolant leak that can cause the engine to overheat and stall, raising the risk of a crash. This recall only affects ES300h models with the 2.5L four-cylinder engine, where porosity in the engine castings can crack and allow coolant to escape internally or externally. The second recall involves the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, which can fail to properly detect a front passenger and prevent the airbag from deploying in a crash.
