The 2022 Lexus NX450h+ has 3 recalls, the most serious being a DC-DC converter that can short-circuit and overheat, raising the risk of a vehicle fire.
On the suspension side, missing spot-welds in the front shock absorber mounting areas can allow a shock absorber to detach from the body, causing a sudden loss of stability and raising the risk of a crash. There is also a software issue affecting the electronic stability control module, where a bug can deactivate the stability control system without warning, leaving the driver with reduced ability to maintain control in sharp turns or slippery conditions.
