This page covers 1 recall and 43 owner complaints for the 2020 Lexus RX.
Airbag-related complaints dominate the 2020 Lexus RX owner reports by a wide margin, with the large majority of the 43 total complaints filed under that system. Owners most commonly describe the airbag warning light illuminating without an apparent cause, and in several cases report the airbag system deactivating or behaving unexpectedly while the vehicle is occupied normally. Tire complaints are the next most-reported category, where owners describe premature wear and unexpected damage. The electrical system draws a smaller cluster of reports covering warning lights and intermittent system behavior. A few isolated complaints mention unrelated issues, a rear hatch glass shattering while the vehicle was parked unoccupied, and a hybrid drivetrain fault code tied to a motor temperature sensor, but those do not represent recurring patterns across multiple reports.
