2010 Lexus RX450H - Front Seats
I have a 2010 Lexus RX450H. My seats/preforated leather has just gone to shreds. I condition my seats regularly. Back row seats and the back of front seats are in perfect condition. My car is barely 6 years old, why so soon? Is there a recall on this model's leather seats?

There is no recall etc for the terrible cheap leather seats in the RX. It has been a source of many complaints. Know that the leather is coated with urethane and most leather products do nothing for the leather. The best thing is to keep them clean and moist. Light cleaning with water and a soft brush will get the dirt out of the cracks.
There are many threads here about seat complaints and seat covers. See post 4 below of search results using the word leather. I suggest using the search bar to find more of them.

I have used the dye kits from Leather Renew to refinish my front seats, but they only had small cracks in the urethane that were full of dirt. Cleaning, sanding and repainting took care of them. Rips are different, but small ones can be fixed. https://leatherrenew.com/
Local car upholstery shops can tell you how much for them to refinish, or repair or recover your front seats.
There are many seat covers on ebay including new aftermarket and also used skins from used RXs.
