Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The 2018 Lexus IS 350 faces serious safety-related recalls that require prompt attention. Air bag inflator defects recorded by NHTSA can cause inflators to rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, creating a high risk of severe injury or death. The fuel pump recalls documented by Toyota/Lexus include failures that may cause engine stall while driving, which increases crash risk. The fuel system pulsation damper issue can lead to fuel leaks and the potential for fire in the presence of an ignition source. Ignoring these known defects can have real consequences for you, your passengers, and first responders. Nalley Lexus Roswell treats recall repairs as an urgent safety priority — our factory-trained technicians use OEM replacement inflators, improved fuel pump assemblies, and redesigned fuel delivery pipes to restore safe operation.
