2009 Lexus Is F Recalls

The 2009 Lexus IS F has 5 recalls, all centered on the passenger frontal airbag inflator, which can rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

All five recalls address the same underlying defect: the passenger-side airbag inflator degrades over time when exposed to high humidity and temperature cycling, building up excess pressure inside the inflator. When the airbag deploys, that excess pressure can cause the inflator to rupture violently rather than inflate the bag in a controlled way, scattering sharp metal fragments toward occupants. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles, which is why multiple rounds of recalls have been filed for the same problem.
