What the source says
The documented condition
NHTSA campaign 22V238000 includes certain 2022 Lexus NX 250 vehicles. 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. A separated shock absorber can cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
