The 2007 Lexus SC has 2 recalls, both involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury.
Both recalls cover the same defect and apply to vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity regions, including Florida, Gulf Coast states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and several U.S. territories. In those environments, moisture degrades the airbag inflator over time, raising the risk that it bursts violently rather than deploying as intended.
