The 2022 Lexus LX 600 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the 3.4L twin-turbo engine, where bearing failure can cause the engine to run rough, stall without warning while driving, or fail to start.
A separate powertrain recall covers a transmission defect that can cause the vehicle to creep forward when shifted to Neutral if the brakes or parking brake are not applied, creating a risk of an unexpected rollaway or collision. On the safety equipment side, the front passenger seat sensor that detects whether an adult is present can malfunction due to interference between seat components, causing the airbag system to suppress the front passenger airbag even when someone is sitting in that seat. That means in a crash, the passenger-side airbag may not deploy for an adult occupant who would normally be protected by it.
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.
