The 2006 Lexus IS 250 has 5 recalls, four of which involve the front passenger airbag inflator, where the inflator can rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

The airbag inflator concern has been the subject of multiple recall campaigns, with some filings focused on vehicles in high-humidity regions and others applying more broadly. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why several campaigns exist for the same underlying defect. The fifth recall affects AWD models only: the accelerator pedal can catch on the carpet padding beneath it and stick in a partially pressed position, preventing the engine from returning to idle and potentially causing the vehicle to accelerate without any input from the driver.
