Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

GOOD DAY GENTLEMEN: THIS REPORT IS CONCERNING A KNOWN, ONGOING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH LEXUS LC500 CARS FROM 2018 UP TO AND INCLUDING 2025 COUPES AND CONVERTIBLES. THE PROBLEM CONCERNS THE DOOR HANDLES/ACTUATORS. APPARENTLY WATER SEEMS TO BE THE CULPRIT. THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT INSIDE BOTH DOORS FAIL AFTER A WHILE INVARIABLY ON ALL THESE CARS DUE TO WATER GETTING INSIDE. LEXUS KNOWS ABOUT THIS ONGOING VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SUPPOSEDLY IS LOOKING INTO IT. THE REASON I AM NOTIFYING YOU IS GOD FORBID A DRIVER GETS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FIRST RESPONDERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXTRICATE THE OCCUPANTS EASILY VIA THE DOORS. THE DOOR/ACTUATORS FAIL AND OWNERS REPORT THAT THEY CANNOT OPEN THEIR DOORS AT ALL WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR KEY FOBS FROM THE OUTSIDE. FORTUNATELY I HAVE A 2024 COUPE AND THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME AS OF YET BUT I DO EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN EVENTUALLY BECAUSE I HAVE MULTIPLE INTERACTIONS WITH MANY LC500 OWNERS AND THIS IS REPORTED CONSTANTLY. I DO FEEL THAT THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND AS A FEDERAL AGENCY I ASK YOU TO PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS TO SEE IF LEXUS CAN TAKE STEPS TO MITIGATE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I WILL say that other than this isolated problem Lexus does in fact manufacture an excellent vehicle and I am very happy with mine. APPARENTLY EVERY VEHICLE DOES HAVE SOME TYPE OF "ACHILLES HEEL" AND THIS DOOR/ACTUATOR PROBLEM IS THE LC500'S. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
