Lexus LX Recalls (2010-2026)
The Lexus LX has been the subject of 12 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the air bags, power train, and engine and engine cooling.
The Lexus LX scores 48 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 75% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 50% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 12 campaigns span 15 model years of the Lexus LX. The single largest affected 1,830,752 vehicles, over fuel system. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common LX problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Lexus LX may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
