ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 Lexus Tx?
For the 2026 Lexus TX, a notable absence of federal crash-test ratings means no star-rating baseline exists for this generation. Neither NHTSA testing nor data from sibling model years provide insight into crash performance. On recalls and complaints, the TX falls into the Light burden band, indicating a lower volume of safety-related issues compared to other vehicles we review. Three recall campaigns are documented, with two specifically addressing back-over prevention technology. Seven owner complaints have been filed, touching upon structural, braking, electrical, fuel, and powertrain systems. While these remain unverified, one reported injury allegation is present. The Light burden band reflects only the volume of these reports and does not offer any assessment of crashworthiness.
