NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2018 Lexus RC. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
The brake pads installed by Lexus squeak as if they need to be replaced. According to the Lexus dealer there is a service bulletin, and the fix is to replace the bad pads. I was told the brakes are fine and that the squeaking doesn't mean anything.
