Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The safety risks from unresolved recalls are real and immediate for the 2016 Lexus ES 300h. The NHTSA records show three recalls tied to the Pre‑Collision System that can cause unexpected automatic braking when roadway steel plates or joints are detected, which could increase crash risk. There is also a recall involving potential brake booster pump failure that may reduce braking assist and deactivate vehicle stability control, and an engine-casting porosity recall affecting coolant leakage and possible engine overheating or oil leaks. Ignoring these manufacturer notices can compromise safety, void certain insurance protections, and increase the chance of costly mechanical damage. Nalley Lexus Roswell prioritizes safety first: our factory-trained Lexus technicians will inspect and complete recall work free of charge using OEM parts and authorized procedures.
