The 2022 Lexus LX has 4 recalls, the most serious being an engine defect where internal debris can cause the main bearings to fail, stalling the engine and cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion.
A separate transmission recall covers unexpected vehicle movement when the gear selector is in neutral with the brakes unapplied, which can cause the vehicle to roll unexpectedly. There is also a concern with the front passenger seat's occupant classification sensor: insufficient clearance between the seat frame and a stopper can cause the sensor to misread whether a passenger is present, leading to incorrect airbag behavior in a crash.
