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.
The front suspension also has a concern: missing spot-welds in the shock absorber mounting area can allow the front shock absorber to separate from the body, causing a sudden loss of vehicle stability and increasing crash risk. On the electronics side, a software defect in the electronic stability control module can deactivate the stability system without warning, leaving the vehicle without the safety net that helps prevent skids and loss of control in slippery or emergency conditions.
