Lexus NX 350h and high-voltage cable corrosion issue like Toyota RAV4?
Hi,
I put a deposit back in March for a Lexus NX 350h Luxury (Atomic Silver / Rioja Red) and I will receive a 2023 around Nov 15th.
Do you know for sure that the Lexus NX 350h is not affected by the same high-voltage cable corrosion issue than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - the famous cablegate .
I'm based in Quebec and I just want to make sure that I won't have to deal with this issue. I have seen an article this weekend (see link below, sorry in French) saying that a class action lawsuit was filed in Quebec and it will include Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Venza Hybrid, Prius Hybrid and both Lexus NX350h and NX450h.

My dealer recommended me to call Lexus Canada when I have mentioned it.
Thanks

I took a photo of my NX450h+ and they added a cover to reduce the high-voltage cable from getting splashed. But it doesn't solve the problem, but definitely delay the cable corrosion.

AFAIK, Lexus took the easier route for this issue with newer RAV4s and it's the same with our 2NX.
They basically pre-drilled a hole in the cover that allows any collected fluids to drain out from below. Not a very sophisticated fix, but it gets the job done. Then like @lsft mentioned, they added a splash guard to further reduce the risk of water getting in there anyway.
Water drains = water does not collect = corrosion risk greatly reduced
This is not a first year issue and people really should stop treating it as such.
