Buying a used 2018 Lexus GX460? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 9 owner complaints on file

Two recalls apply: the Toyota/Lexus fuel pump campaign, which can cause an engine stall, and a low-severity fix for incorrect weight-limit labels. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside advisory. Owner-filed NHTSA complaints number 9 (2 crashes, 3 injuries), with suspension the most-cited area at 3 and air bags at 2. Those are unverified reports, and the total is small enough that no pattern can be read from it.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Confirm by VIN that the fuel pump recall was completed by a dealer.
3. Inspect the suspension, including the air/height system if equipped, for leaks, sag, or warning lights.
4. Check that the airbag warning light cycles and goes out, and that weight-limit labels were corrected.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Lexus dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
