What are the known NHTSA recalls for a 2016 Lexus RX 450h?
The NHTSA has issued 2 recalls affecting the 2016 Lexus RX 450h; both involve air bag components that may not inflate properly. One recall concerns a possible improper weld in the driver's knee air bag inflator that could allow inflation gas to escape and increase injury risk; the remedy is inspection and replacement of the knee air bag assembly if needed. The second recall covers air bag pressure or acceleration sensors that may fail and cause side/curtain or front air bags to not deploy; affected sensors are replaced based on serial numbers. These recalls are documented by NHTSA and Toyota and should be remedied at a certified Lexus dealer like Nalley Lexus Roswell to ensure the correct OEM parts and procedures are used.

Recall repairs must be completed by a certified franchise dealer to ensure OEM parts and factory procedures are used; Nalley Lexus Roswell is a certified Lexus franchise dealership and performs free recall repairs.

At Nalley Lexus Roswell our factory‑trained technicians will provide an estimated turnaround when you schedule appointment.

Does an open recall affect my 2016 Lexus RX 450h's trade-in or resale value?
