The NHTSA documents two air bag-related recalls that can affect occupant protection in a crash for the 2017 Lexus RX 450h. One defect involves a potential improper weld in a driver knee air bag inflator that could allow inflation gas to escape, and the other involves pressure or acceleration sensor failures that may prevent side/curtain or front air bags from deploying. Both conditions increase the risk of injury in a collision. Ignoring these recalls can also complicate insurance claims if an unrepaired safety defect contributes to an accident. At Nalley Lexus Smyrna our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts, manufacturer procedures, and Lexus diagnostic tools to verify the exact remedy and complete the work free of charge under the recall. We advise owners across Smyrna, Roswell, Alpharetta and the greater Atlanta area to treat these recalls as urgent safety work and to schedule service immediately so your vehicle remains safe for you and your passengers.
