2014 Lexus Is 250c

The 2014 Lexus IS 250C has 2 recalls, both involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

These recalls are part of the broader Takata airbag action and cover the same defect filed across different vehicle populations. The risk is the same in both cases: the inflator ruptures rather than deploying cleanly. Some recalls in this campaign are scoped to vehicles registered in high-humidity states and territories, where moisture accelerates the degradation that makes the inflator unstable.
