Every procedure in this 2023 Lexus NX 250 service and repair manual is written against the car as Lexus built it that year — the 2.5L four-cylinder (A25A-FKS) and the driveline it left the plant with — so the clearances, torque figures and diagnostic trees you work to are the published ones for this exact year and not values carried over from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2023 NX 250. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the steering column: an electrical connection inside the spiral cable assembly may be insufficiently welded, and if that connection separates the driver's air bag is deactivated. A deactivated driver's air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury during a crash, and these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." Owners have filed 13 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins have been issued for it. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether the job is the spiral cable assembly in the steering column, an AWD-specific service item, or a scheduled maintenance interval, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2023 NX 250.
