- Brake Actuator FailureSerious
The hydraulic brake actuator on the RX 450h can fail over time, manifesting as a barking or squawking noise from the brake pedal area, warning lights on the dashboard, and longer pedal travel. This is an expensive repair, and many UK examples are now beyond goodwill support from Lexus.
- Radiator LeaksModerate
The radiator can leak where the aluminium core meets the plastic end tanks, usually starting as a slow weep before turning into a more obvious coolant loss issue.
- Radiator End-Tank Seam Splitting and Coolant LossModerate
The radiator on AL10 RX models can develop leaks where the aluminium core meets the plastic end tanks, usually starting as a slow weep around the bottom corners. Pink coolant crusting around the seams, a sweet coolant smell and a gradually dropping expansion-tank level are the warning signs.
