NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2026 Lexus LS 500, so it carries no Safety Index and no star ratings from that program. What the federal record does show is a Clean recall and complaint burden band, meaning zero open recall campaigns and zero owner complaints on file with NHTSA for this model year. That Clean band is a meaningful data point, but it is not a substitute for crash-test performance data, and the absence of testing should not be read as a signal in either direction on crashworthiness.
The 2026 Lexus LS 500 was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries zero recalls and a Clean recall and complaint burden band, according to NHTSA federal safety data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 Lexus LS 500?
The 2026 Lexus LS 500 enters the federal safety record with a Clean burden band, the result of zero recall campaigns and zero owner complaints logged with NHTSA. For a current-model-year vehicle, a complaint count of zero is not unusual, as owner reporting to NHTSA tends to accumulate over time as vehicles accumulate miles and exposure. The absence of any recall activity is the more substantive data point here, indicating that no safety-related defect has triggered a federal campaign for this model year. No tested sibling years appear in the NHTSA data we cover, so there is no adjacent crash-test record to reference for structural or occupant-protection context. The Clean band should be understood strictly as a reflection of the recall and complaint record, not as a statement about crash performance.
