How often do 2021 Lexus RX450h brake pads need to be replaced? It depends on you and your driving style. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles.

Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your RX450h. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Lexus RX450h brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.
