Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The safety of you and your passengers is the top priority when a recall is reported. For the 2021 Lexus RX 450h, NHTSA records list two air bag-related recalls: one involving a potential inflator weld defect that can allow inflation gas to escape from a driver's knee air bag and another involving air bag pressure or acceleration sensors that may fail to trigger side, curtain shield, or front air bags. If these systems do not deploy properly in a crash, the risk of injury increases. Ignoring an open recall can also affect insurance claims and may complicate liability after an accident. At Nalley Lexus Roswell our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts and manufacturer diagnostic tools to identify affected serial numbers and complete the required repairs free of charge under the manufacturer recall program.
