LEXUS RX Recalls

The Lexus RX has 6 recalls spanning 2004 through 2024, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2023-2024 models where a driver's airbag may have been incorrectly repaired under a prior recall, leaving it deactivated and unable to deploy in a crash. The 2020-2022 model years have a separate airbag concern where the passenger seat occupant classification sensor can malfunction, causing the front airbag on that side to not deploy in a crash. On 2016 models, airbag pressure and acceleration sensors can fail, preventing side curtain and front airbags from deploying. Moving to the fuel system, the 2019 RX350L has a low-pressure fuel pump inside the tank that can fail and stall the engine without warning. Going back to 2004-2007 production, a floor carpet cover near the center console can shift toward the accelerator pedal if the retention clip is not seated properly, causing the pedal to stick in a partially depressed position instead of returning to idle. On 2006-2007 RX400h hybrid models specifically, transistors inside the inverter can sustain heat damage during heavy driving and push the vehicle into a limp-home mode that limits power and drivability.
