The 2022 Lexus LX 600 has 3 recalls, the most serious being an engine defect on vehicles with the 3.4L twin-turbo engine where metal debris can damage the crankshaft bearings, causing the engine to run rough, stall, or fail to start while driving.
A separate transmission recall covers the risk of the vehicle creeping forward when shifted to Neutral if the brakes are not applied, which can catch a driver off guard and cause a collision. On the safety equipment side, the front passenger seat sensor that determines whether an adult is seated may misread the occupant and shut off the front passenger airbag, leaving that seat without airbag protection in a crash.
At a glance
What can fail
The front passenger seat's sensor system may not detect whether someone is sitting in that seat due to parts interfering with each other. This can cause the airbag to shut off even when a passenger is present.
What the fix does
Dealerships will inspect and replace the front passenger seat frame assembly if needed to restore proper sensor function.
