The 2009 Lexus IS 350C has 3 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
This Takata airbag recall applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity regions, and prior repair attempts may not have fully resolved the issue, which is why multiple recall filings exist for the same defect. The third recall involves the windshield wipers, which can stop working and leave the driver with significantly reduced visibility in wet conditions.
