2023 LEXUS RX 350

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the unverified “REAR END” damage code; however, the salvage-title status is a document status and cannot be confirmed from the provided images. The rear of the vehicle has severe collision damage. The rear hatch and adjacent left rear body panels are extensively crushed and sharply distorted, and the liftgate is deeply folded across its lower and central sections with uneven alignment around the perimeter. The rear bumper cover is detached, heavily deformed, displaced from the body, and hanging downward at the right rear corner. Underlying components are exposed. The rear exhaust and muffler assembly are also visibly hanging below the vehicle. The outer trim around the left rear wheel arch is missing, leaving mounting holes and fasteners exposed. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Lexus RX 350 SUV, built in Canada by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. It is listed with a 2.4-liter turbocharged gasoline inline-four engine, 275 horsepower, and 4x2 drive. The transmission type is not provided in the decode. NHTSA records list three recalls associated with this model and model year. Recall 25V040000 concerns a potentially insufficiently welded steering-column spiral-cable connection that may deactivate the driver’s airbag; the remedy is inspection and replacement of the spiral-cable assembly as necessary. Recall 25V744000 applies to vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor and concerns rearview-camera software that may freeze or display a blank screen; the remedy is a software update. Recall 26V162000 concerns the rearview-camera image not displaying when reverse is selected and provides for a software update or camera replacement as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Lexus dealer.
