The 2022 Lexus NX350 has two recalls, the more serious being a front shock absorber that can detach from its mounting point, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
The shock absorber mounting area may be missing spot welds, allowing the shock to pull free and destabilize the vehicle while driving. On the brake side, the electronic parking brake control unit can incorrectly detect a fault and shut itself down, leaving the parking brake unable to engage. A vehicle left in park with a non-functional electronic parking brake can roll away on any incline.
