Every model year 2019–2026: recalls, owner complaints, NHTSA crash ratings and EPA efficiency side by side, each value traced to the file it came from.

Source: recalls and complaints per year on the roadOn the filed record so far, the 2023 is the cleanest UX year we hold, and the 2019 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 UX year is the best used buy?
On the recall record, the 2023 UX comes out top of the years before the current one: Safety Signal grade A (100/100), 0 recalls and 1 owner complaint on file. That ranks paperwork, not condition — a specific car's history and service record still decide it.
What Lexus UX years should I avoid?
No UX 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 UX have?
Across model years 2019–2026, NHTSA has posted 4 recall campaigns for the Lexus UX. They are counted per model year in the table above, because a campaign almost never covers the whole run — it covers a build range.
