Vehicle report
2007 LEXUS SC 430
This model year
What the record shows
The 2007 Lexus Sc 430 is a minicompact car, and the 4th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2004 to 2010.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 4.3-litre eight-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S6) and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 19 mpg.
No complaints, recalls, investigations or service bulletins are on the federal record for this model year.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
