Lexus is recalling 3,013 2015 NX200 vehicles under recall 15V341 because a damaged component inside the ABS actuator can keep the anti-lock braking, traction control, and stability systems from working properly.

What's wrong?

The ABS actuator in the 2015 Lexus NX200 is the control unit for the anti-lock brakes, traction control, and vehicle stability control. It helps manage brake fluid pressure when the tires start to slip or lock, so the vehicle can keep braking and stay more stable during a hard stop.

In affected vehicles, a seat valve inside the actuator was shaped improperly during assembly. That defect created tiny resin fragments inside the oil pressure control valve. If a fragment gets stuck, the actuator can delay brake pressure control when ABS activates, which can reduce vehicle stability during braking.

There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is hidden inside the actuator, so the vehicle can feel normal until the system needs ABS pressure control during a braking event.

Drive cautiously, and use your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your 2015 NX200. Repair will be free at any franchised Lexus dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Lexus NX200 is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for Lexus's owner notice before scheduling the repair; the dealer repair is free once Lexus opens it.
  3. Contact a franchised Lexus dealer about the ABS actuator inspection and replacement that fixes the brake, traction control, and stability control actuator problem.
  4. Reference recall number 15V341 when you call Lexus customer service or the dealer.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking when traffic allows.

What happens at the repair

Once the dealer repair is available, a Lexus technician will inspect the ABS actuator that controls the anti lock braking, traction control, and vehicle stability systems. If the actuator fails inspection, the technician will replace it under the recall. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered. Ask the Lexus service desk to confirm the repair status for your VIN before arranging an appointment.
