2011 Lexus Is F Recalls & Complaints

The 2011 Lexus IS F has 4 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

All four recalls address the same defect in the Takata passenger-side airbag inflator. The filings cover vehicles sold or ever registered in high-humidity states and territories including Alabama, California, Florida, Hawaii, Texas, and several U.S. territories, as moisture exposure over time increases the risk of a violent inflator failure. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles, which is why multiple rounds of recalls exist for this same component.
