Buying a used 2022 Lexus NX? Check these 2 recalls first
Both recalls here are camera-related: one for rearview cameras that may freeze, another for a backup camera that may not display at all — overlapping but separately filed. Neither is a stop-driving or park-outside action. Sixteen owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, unverified reports that include three crashes and two injuries; the largest identified groupings are electrical system, wheels, and visibility/wiper, with six filed under unknown or other.
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.
- Cycle into reverse repeatedly on a cold and a warm start to confirm the backup camera displays every time
- Confirm both camera recalls show as completed on the VIN, since they were filed separately
- Exercise the electronics — screen, lights, power accessories — and inspect the wheels, the two largest identified complaint areas
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lexus dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
