Lexus has recalled a trio RX SUVs in Australia this week, due to a potential problem with the passenger airbag.
The carmaker has identified a weakness with the airbag inflator unit, which may be susceptible to a gas leak.
Lexus says that gas used to inflate the airbag during a collision may escape into the inflator unit, causing the airbag to partly inflate - or, fully inflate when not required.
Should this occur while driving, the resulting shock may cause a collision or the inflating airbag may injure a passenger. No incidents have been reported in Australia at this stage.
