1 recall across 1 model year
The Lexus SC 430 has 1 recall affecting the 2002 model year, where the passenger frontal airbag propellant can degrade over time due to heat and humidity exposure, causing the airbag to deploy with excessive force and potentially send metal fragments into the cabin. This is the well-documented Takata airbag inflator issue, in which the degraded propellant causes the inflator to rupture rather than inflate normally, turning the airbag housing into a source of shrapnel directed at the front passenger.
