Source: NHTSA vehicle records, recall and complaint snapshot 2026-10-18. Manufacturer communications retain their separately dated source snapshot. Counts are submitted records, not failure probabilities. One vehicle can appear in several campaigns.
Complaint model names counted: See the dataset mapping. Recall model names counted: NX350. Complaint records are deduplicated by ODI number; vehicle recalls are counted by distinct campaign number for this year.
Model-year records
What the 2022 record can and cannot say
The 2022 record contains 0 submitted complaints. The median across this model's matched years is 0 reports. Neither number accounts for vehicle sales or time on the road. NHTSA source snapshot: 2026-10-18.
This year's matched data does not include a component breakdown. That does not establish that the vehicle has no faults.
Engine replacement or major internal repair has the highest arithmetic midpoint for parts in the applicable planning estimates, at $8,000 before labor. A paid plan can help only if the component and cause qualify; check existing manufacturer coverage first.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: recall 22V661000
An electronic parking brake that cannot be engaged while in "park," may result in a vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022 Lexus NX250, NX350, and Toyota Tundra vehicles. The Skid Control ECU within the Brake Actuator Assembly may falsely detect an overcurrent condition of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Actuator and enter a failsafe mode which prevents the EPB from being engaged. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."

Confirm who pays before authorizing work
A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.
Keep a current problem separate from future coverage
These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.
Each file retains its original source review date. Historical remedy wording can change; check the current manufacturer notice and NHTSA VIN lookup for your vehicle. The separately dated NHTSA counts elsewhere on this page use a different dataset and scope.

EPA vehicle details: 2 matched fuel-economy configurations help us leave out repairs for equipment this model year does not have.
Repair-cost estimates: We model 32 applicable repairs beyond normal wear items, using published benchmarks where available plus parts and independent-shop labor assumptions. These ranges are not dealer quotes, repair-shop quotes or invoices.
The official dataset contains 2 matched configurations for this model year. The range reflects trim and drivetrain choices, not changes to the complaint count.

Estimated repair bills
Major repair cost range
These ranges combine parts and labor benchmarks with modeled independent-shop rates for 50-metro reference. These are national repair benchmarks and planning assumptions, not published prices for this exact vehicle. We filter repairs using the available model-year specifications; a shop must confirm the engine, equipment and diagnosed job.
