Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The safety of drivers and passengers is our top priority and addressing recalls promptly can prevent serious consequences. For the 2026 Lexus ES, NHTSA records identify multiple recall entries that affect critical systems — including the forward collision avoidance system that can unexpectedly apply brakes, fuel pump assemblies that can fail and cause engine stall, a brake booster pump issue that may deactivate vehicle stability control and reduce braking assist, steering tie rod lock nuts that can loosen, and a driver knee air bag assembly that may be improperly installed. Any of these defects can increase crash or injury risk. Nalley Lexus Roswell urges owners to treat NHTSA recall notices as urgent safety actions: recall repairs are performed free by factory-trained technicians using OEM parts, and completing the remedy protects drivers, passengers, and other road users. Ignoring a known recall also has downstream consequences for insurance claims and vehicle inspections; our advisors will explain the specific safety risk and repair timeline, and help you schedule service immediately.
