Fitment on this service and repair manual is narrowed to the 2015 Lexus NX 200t specifically — the model year, the 2.0L turbocharged four (8AR-FTS) under the hood, and the trim the car was built as — so the clearances, torque values and service specifications it gives are the ones Lexus published for this vehicle rather than figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2015 NX 200t. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the gasoline fuel system on the delivery side, specifically the fuel pump: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 36 complaints for the year, and Lexus has issued no technical service bulletins for it. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether the job is a fuel delivery diagnosis on an engine that stalls or a scheduled maintenance interval, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the specification Lexus set for the 2015 NX 200t.

The vehicle has 119285 miles on it. I have started to see oil leak from the transfer-case/transmission. I called lexus back in August 2023, they were aware of certain vehicle developing oil leak problems. They issued recall on certain vehicles and issued a TSB for oil leak repair. I called lexus today and took the vehicle to the dealership. There is an understanding that my vehicle won't be covered under recall even though the problem is known to lexus. This issue may lead to unexpected break
I purchased this vehicle in 2015 - it has been dealer serviced and has never been in an accident. At just under 90,000 miles on the odometer, a major fluid leak started. It turns out that the rear main (crankshaft) seal had failed, causing a leak of transmission oil. No warning lamps or messages appeared. This failure resulted in an extraordinarily expensive repair, over $2,500.00 at the dealer, Lexus of Greenwood Village (Colorado). It was not covered on warranty. This is a major safety is

I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED LEXUS AS I KNEW NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY HIT MY CAR AT THOSE SPEEDS AND NOT COME FLYING THROUGH THE ROOF AND DAMAGE THE FRAME AND OTHER MOVING PARTS. THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME WAS THAT I HAD THE INTERIOR SLIDE HATCH HALFWAY CLOSED SO GLASS DIDN'T ENTER THE VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT IT AND DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE AGENT WHO LOOKED AT MY CAR REPORTED THAT T
NHTSA has issued service bulletins regarding Lexus servo motor issues, primarily affecting the HVAC system, because these motors can have internal electrical malfunctions. This malfunction can cause symptoms like uneven or inconsistent air temperature from the vents, lack of airflow from selected vents, improper mode control, and the storage of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to the damper control servos. This is an issue because it affects Safety and Convenience due to the following: Wh
IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR (2017) THE SUV STARTED BLOWING EXTREMELY HOT AIR OUT OF THE HVAC SYSTEM DESPITE IT SET FOR THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE POSSIBLE. ALL ATTEMPTS TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING HOT AIR WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE SUV HAD TO BE TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE "ACCUATORS" HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE SYSTEM. THIS WEEK THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SUV HAD TO BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME EXACT REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG SAFETY I
Hello, I own a 2015 Lexus NX200T. On 9/13/2025 I was pulling into a spot to park, going slow at maybe 4-5 mph, my vehicle suddenly violently accelerates on its own. I had to slam multiple times on the brakes to avoid killing two pedestrians right in front of my vehicle. I was in seconds of killing them and pinning them between the vehicle that was in front of me. I did everything in my power to keep hitting the breaks as hard as I could until it stopped within inches of the two pedestrians. This
