STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Lexus) is recalling certain 2022 NX250, NX350, NX350h, and NX450h+ vehicles. Missing spot-welds between the body panels and the front shock absorber mounting areas may cause the front shock absorber to separate from the mounting area.
- What it can cause
- A separated shock absorber can cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will add welds to body panels or replace the body panels where welds have failed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 10, 2022. Owners may contact Lexus customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Lexus's number for this recall is 22LA02.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 4,215 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 15,809 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 481. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V478000 (electrical system), 22V661000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V239000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on April 13, 2022 as campaign 22V238000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
