The NHTSA has issued 12 recalls affecting the 2023 Lexus ES 350 covering Forward Collision Avoidance, Fuel Pump, Steering, Air Bag, Fuel Tank, and Anti Lock Brake systems. Key issues include unexpected Pre‑Collision System (PCS) braking when radar misdetects roadway steel, fuel pump failures that can cause engine stall, a possible loose right‑hand tie rod lock nut, improperly installed driver knee air bag assemblies, fuel tank/fuel pump assembly concerns, and an ABS actuator O‑ring risk that can affect brake fluid pressure.

Can I get my 2023 Lexus ES 350 recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Manufacturer recall repairs must be performed under the recall program and are best completed at a certified franchise dealer like Nalley Lexus Smyrna to ensure OEM parts and proper rework documentation. Independent shops cannot always access the required remedy parts, software updates, or the official recall campaign records that a franchise dealer maintains, which can affect your warranty and safety documentation. For guaranteed factory-trained technicians and documented repair, schedule service at our Smyrna, GA dealership.
How long does a 2023 Lexus ES 350 recall repair take?
Repair times vary by recall: simple inspections can take under an hour while part replacements (fuel pump or steering gear) may require several hours or a day depending on parts availability. Many of the fuel pump and PCS corrective actions require parts that were made available in phases; Nalley Lexus Smyrna will provide estimated turnaround when you schedule service. We strive for fast service and will work to minimize your wait time—ask about loaner vehicles, shuttle service, and current service specials.
Does an open recall affect my 2023 Lexus ES 350's trade-in or resale value?
An unresolved recall can negatively affect trade-in offers and private sale confidence because buyers and dealers often verify recall status before purchase. Resolving recalls at Nalley Lexus Smyrna documents the repair with OEM parts and reduces buyer concerns, helping protect your resale or trade-in value; learn more on our trade-in page. We recommend addressing recalls promptly to preserve value and to avoid potential insurance or inspection complications.
Can I fail a state inspection because of an unresolved 2023 Lexus ES 350 recall?
Some states and inspection programs may flag unresolved safety recalls, particularly those affecting brakes, steering, or airbags, which could lead to inspection issues. Since recalls like the ABS actuator and steering tie rod may affect vehicle control, Nalley Lexus Smyrna recommends resolving relevant recalls before inspections to avoid failure and to ensure safety. To avoid inspection delays, please schedule service and ask about our service financing options and available service specials.
