RX 350

  • 17,000 miles
Passenger side airbag system of Lexus rx 350 (2009) will not work for light weight person whose weight is less than 90 lbs while other automaker"S passenger side air bag system works for person even whose weight is around 60 lbs. Owner"S manual does not specify required or suggested weight of a person for which passenger side airbag system designed to functioning. Dealership said after adjusting zero weight calibration, it was designed as such way and could not fix the issue. This issue may have some concern for families those who have light weight family member less than 90 lbs when selecting this model.
