What is wrong
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Lexus) is recalling certain 2022 NX250, NX350, NX350h, and NX450h+ vehicles. Missing spot-welds between the body panels and the front shock absorber mounting areas may cause the front shock absorber to separate from the mounting area.
The risk
A separated shock absorber can cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will add welds to body panels or replace the body panels where welds have failed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 10, 2022. Owners may contact Lexus customer service at 1-[removed]. Lexus's number for this recall is 22LA02.
Notes from the manufacturer
