THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial ◆ Reviewed against NHTSA data ◆ 2026-10-01

The 2024 Lexus TX presents an immediate safety concern, as federal data for this model year is incomplete. No crash-test results have been published by NHTSA, meaning critical evaluations for frontal, side, and rollover protection remain outstanding. Consequently, a definitive Safety Index cannot be computed. There have been no recalls issued for the 2024 TX, and owner complaints to NHTSA also stand at zero. This absence of data, rather than a positive indicator, means that crucial safety performance metrics for this new luxury midsize SUV are simply not yet established.

The 2024 Lexus TX launches without federal crash-test ratings. NHTSA has not evaluated this model year, leaving no independent data on frontal, side, or rollover occupant protection. This absence of critical safety information is a significant concern for a vehicle marketed as a family luxury SUV. The TX has accrued 4 recalls in its debut year. While Lexus typically addresses such issues promptly, four recalls for a new model are a notable figure. Prospective buyers must confirm all recall work is completed prior to purchase. Owner complaints total 39, including 3 reported crashes and 2 reported injuries. These are unverified reports, not fault determinations, but the crash-related complaints warrant close observation. The 2024 TX presents an incomplete safety profile. Without crash-test results, and with four recalls and a cluster of crash-adjacent owner complaints, safety-conscious consumers should await further NHTSA data and ensure all outstanding recall actions are resolved.

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: 2026 Lexus Tx with 5 recalls.
