Every Lexus LC model year

Source: recalls and complaints per year on the roadOn the filed record so far, the 2023 is the cleanest LC year we hold, and the 2018 the one to check hardest.
Both figures are divided by the number of years the car has been on sale, because otherwise the oldest year on the page loses every time simply for having been around longer. The current model year and any year under three on the road are left out: their records are not finished.

Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kitsWhich Lexus LC year is the best used buy?
On the recall record, the 2023 LC comes out top of the years before the current one: Safety Signal grade A (100/100), 0 recalls and 0 owner complaints on file. That ranks paperwork, not condition — a specific car's history and service record still decide it.
What Lexus LC years should I avoid?
No LC model year carries a D or F Safety Signal or a standing advisory. The ranking page orders every year on recalls and complaints per year on the road, and says why.
How many recalls does the Lexus LC have?
Across model years 2018–2026, NHTSA has posted 10 recall campaigns for the Lexus LC. They are counted per model year in the table above, because a campaign almost never covers the whole run — it covers a build range.
