Buying a used 2022 Lexus NX? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2022 Lexus NX has 3 recalls in this group, all involving driver information: important warnings may not display, and the rearview camera may freeze or fail to display. Its 16 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 6 in unknown or other, 4 in electrical system, 2 in wheels and 2 in visibility/wiper. The record lists 3 crashes and 2 injuries, without establishing that recalls caused those outcomes. Recall documentation and inspection of electrical, visibility and wheel concerns deserve attention.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Verify completion of warning-display and both camera recalls.
- Test the rearview image repeatedly for freezing or blank screens.
- Request inspection of electrical faults, wheels and wipers.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lexus dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
