Lexus LC500h

The vehicles' electronic control unit (ECU) has been improperly programmed and the throttle is not coordinated with the transmission and gear changes. As a consequence, when accelerating in highway driving mode, the hybrid system could shut down, causing a loss of power, which can increase the risk of accidents.

European Union 2014–2017

Lexus RC F

The pulsation damper in one of the high pressure fuel pumps could be defective, leading to vibration which could cause the pump cover to develop a fatigue crack. The crack could expand and fuel may leak, which could lead to a vehicle fire.

null Due to improper programming of the brake control module, there is a possibility that under certain conditions the parking brake may not be set automatically when the brake hold system is deactivated (as designed). If this occurs, and the transmission is left in a gear other than “Park” or "Reverse", the…

null A crack could develop in the fuel evaporative emission control unit which is attached to the fuel tank. When the fuel tank is full, fuel could leak from the crack which, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a vehicle fire. European Union 2009–2012

Lexus and Toyota CT200h, Prius and Prius PHV

null Welded parts of the inflator in each of the curtain shield air bags could have a minute crack. If the crack propagates over time, part of the inflator could separate causing compressed gas to escape.

Lexus NX200t

null Plastic residues in the ABS actuator may cause delays in the hydraulic pressure regulation for the braking system. Drivers may consequently lose control of the vehicle, thus increasing the risk of an accident.

null The wiper arm nuts on the front wipers may be insufficiently tight. If the movement of wipers is restricted by an external load, such as a build-up of heavy snow on the windscreen, the wiper motor torque may exceed the wiper arm slipping torque, and one, or both, of the wipers could become inoperative.
