THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial Reviewed against NHTSA data 2026-07-02

The 2024 Lexus TX is a three-row luxury midsize SUV aimed squarely at premium family haulers. Slotting above the RX in Lexus's lineup, it targets buyers who want genuine rear-seat space wrapped in the brand's signature refinement. It competes in a crowded segment alongside the Acura MDX and Lincoln Aviator, but carries Lexus's reputation for understated, upscale execution.

The 2024 Lexus TX enters our coverage window with a safety record that demands honest scrutiny. NHTSA has not crash-tested this model, which means there are no federal star ratings to lean on and no independent benchmark for occupant protection in a frontal, side, or rollover event. For a vehicle positioning itself as a family-first luxury SUV, that absence of data is a real gap shoppers cannot ignore. On the recall front, the TX has accumulated 4 recalls across its debut model year. For a brand-new nameplate, four recalls in a single year is a figure worth watching. Lexus has historically moved quickly on corrective actions, but buyers should verify that any vehicle they consider has had outstanding recall work completed before taking delivery. Owner complaints stand at 39, with 3 reported crashes and 2 reported injuries logged among those filings. These are unverified allegations, not confirmed fault determinations, but the crash-adjacent complaints are the kind of signals our team flags for continued monitoring. Bottom line: the TX arrives with strong brand pedigree and genuine family utility, but its 2024 safety picture is incomplete. No crash-test scores, four recalls, and a small but notable cluster of crash-related complaints mean safety-focused shoppers should check back as NHTSA data matures and confirm all recalls are resolved before purchase.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the TX for its polished cabin materials, composed ride quality, and upscale interior presentation that feels appropriate for its price point. Most find the driving dynamics smooth if not particularly engaging, and note that rear-seat space is a genuine step forward for the Lexus SUV lineup. Value relative to German competitors is frequently cited as a strength.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2024 Lexus TX, so there are no federal star ratings available. Shoppers cannot compare its structural performance against rivals using government data at this time.
  • The 2024 TX has 4 NHTSA recalls in its debut year. Before purchasing, verify through NHTSA's recall lookup tool that all outstanding recall repairs have been completed on the specific vehicle you are considering.
  • Owner complaints total 39, and 3 of those filings reference a crash event with 2 reported injuries. These are unverified allegations, but the crash-adjacent reports are worth monitoring as the model accumulates more real-world data.
  • As a first-year nameplate, the TX lacks the multi-year complaint and recall history that helps identify persistent safety patterns. Shoppers who prioritize a well-documented safety record may want to revisit this model after a full year of NHTSA data accumulates.

Most-recalled year on record: 2024 Lexus Tx with 4 recalls.
