2014-2016 Lexus NX200t and NX300h recalled for brake hold fix

Lexus has issued a recall for 6856 of its 2014 to 2016 NX200t and NX300h SUVs over concerns the brake hold function may not operate as intended.


According to the Japanese marque, the parking brake in affected vehicles may not automatically apply in certain situations - like when the driver's seat belt is unfastened - due to improper programming - which could cause the vehicle to roll unexpectedly, posing an accident hazard.

The brake hold is designed to deactivate, warn the driver and apply the parking brake in conditions such as when the driver undoes their seat belt.

Lexus says that no cases of the issue have been reported in Australia.

Affected NX models were produced from July 2014 through December 2016. The VIN list for the recalled vehicles can be viewed here.

Owners of the affected units will be contacted directly by Lexus Australia, and are advised to make an appointment with their local dealer to have the electronic skid control unit reprogrammed.

The repairs should take around an hour to complete and will be free of charge.
