2020 LEXUS RX 350 Premium

This 2020 Lexus RX is listed by the auction with a “JUNKING CERT OF A VEHICLE” condition designation and a primary damage code of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE code because extensive damage is shown along the left side; however, the photographs alone cannot confirm the junking-certificate title or condition designation. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated along the left side. The left rear door is extensively crushed, folded, and displaced, with the door opening and adjacent interior components exposed. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area have extensive sharp creases and deformation. The left rocker panel or side sill is deeply crushed and distorted, with displaced trim and exposed lower-side components. The left front door has broad dents and horizontal creases across the middle and lower sections, including deformation along its lower edge. Curtain airbags are visibly deployed and hanging from the roof area on both sides of the passenger compartment, including beside the front and rear seating positions. The red airbag warning indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster. These findings indicate that the restraint system requires a complete inspection and repair before the vehicle can be considered safe for use. Dark staining and discoloration are visible on the rear seat cushions, front seats, and center armrest. The extent or cause of the staining cannot be determined from the provided findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Lexus RX 350 Premium SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada in Cambridge, Ontario. An official NHTSA recall, campaign 23V865000, applies to certain 2020–2021 Lexus RX350 and RX450H vehicles. The recall concerns a possible short circuit in the Occupant Classification System sensor that could prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying. The specified remedy is dealer inspection and replacement of the sensor as necessary, free of charge. Recall completion for this individual vehicle should be verified with Lexus or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
