10 recalls across 8 model years
The Lexus NX has 10 recalls spanning 2015 through 2025, with the most serious affecting 2025 models where front brake caliper and wheel hub bearing bolts may be loose, potentially causing brake fluid loss that extends stopping distances or wheel detachment and loss of control.
On 2023-2024 models, the driver's airbag clockspring can deactivate and prevent the airbag from deploying in a crash. A prior repair attempt for this issue did not fully resolve the problem on some vehicles, so affected 2023-2024 owners may have had the repair performed without the defect being corrected. The 2025 model year also has a second-row center seatbelt with webbing that may be damaged and unable to properly restrain an occupant in a crash.
Two separate software issues affect rearview camera display on 2022-2025 models: the camera can fail to appear at all when shifting into reverse, or it can freeze and show a blank screen, both of which reduce visibility behind the vehicle. On 2024-2025 models, front head restraints can pull free without pressing the release button, and if not reinstalled, they leave occupants without rear-impact neck protection. A label error on 2025 NX350 Hybrid vehicles shows an incorrect maximum load capacity, which could lead to overloading.
Going back to 2015-2016 models, airbag pressure and acceleration sensors can fail, preventing side curtain and front airbags from deploying in a crash. The 2019 model year has a low-pressure fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine.
