Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER filed May 2, 2022

NHTSA complaint #1810590 (ODI reference 11463134) concerns a 2005 LEXUS LS430 and was filed on May 2, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 4, 2020. The vehicle had 54,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:shock absorber, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same LEXUS LS430 cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:shock absorber failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 LEXUS LS430 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
