• Recall 2021723 [Canada]: Accessories
  Issue: this recall is for certain block heater kits installed on certain vehicles or sold as accessories at toyota or lexus dealerships. On certain vehicles, the engine block heater cable may not have enough heat protection and could be damaged by high temperatures. If this happens, the cable could short circuit while plugged in, and cause the wiring to overheat or melt. Note: this recall only affects the following block heater/cord part numbers: C014003034 pk5a408j09 pU14000904 C014003151 pk5a408j13 pU14000905 C014000885 pk5a489j11 pU14000907 C014000888 pk5a489j22 pU14000909 C014000907 pk5a410h00 pU14000911 C014100904 pU14000900 pU14000913 C014100907 pU14000901 pU14003571 C014100911 pU14000902 pk5a408j05 pU14000903 safety risk: engine block heater wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire. Corrective actions: toyota recommends that you should stop using the engine block heater immediately. Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to disable the engine block heater. For some vehicles, the corrective actions for this recall are under development. For others, a new engine block heater cannot be installed, and the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.

• Recall 2019008 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective action: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator or airbag module replaced. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2017363 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, the electrical power cords of some dealer installed block heaters may have been improperly manufactured, causing the wires to contact each other, resulting in a short circuit. A short circuit could lead to a fire which would increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: for vehicles where the subject block heater was approved for installation, the dealer will replace the block heater assembly with a new one of an improved design. For vehicles where the subject block heater was not approved for installation, dealers will remove the block heater assembly. In the interim, until the remedy can be performed, dealers will cut the plug end from the block heater cord to disable the block heater's operation.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

Contacted by lexus about a 2016 lexus gx 460 i purchased in feburary 2020 from a local dealership sister store. Lexus informed me that the vehicle had an air bag recall if not fixed according to literature could cause serious harm or death. I was open to get the vehicle fixed and stated i had a toyota dealership within 2 miles of my home. Lexus said because this was as safety issue my local toyota dealership was unacceptable place for repairs and i had to have the vehicle shipped to a dealership which was the closest to my area 318 miles away (one way). Lexus offered to have the vehicle picked up and curried to the dealership at no cost to me. The problem is that this vehicle is my main means of transportation to work. When i explained this to lexus associate it lexus replied that i could rent a car and lexus would re-emberse me for the cost. Which is great if you have the money to lease a car upfront for an extended period of time. When i questioned why a vehicle with an air bag safety recall issued back in may of 2016 was allowed to be re-sold without being fixed the answer i received was that it should have shown up on the carfax. I would have never purchased this vehicle with a known safety issue that could cause serious harm or death. I believe not only does lexus have some responsibility but so does the dealership in which i purchased the vehicle from as i was not made aware of the recall at the time of purchase. With all that being said i feel i have no problem having the vehicle fixed within reasonable compromise between both parties. But if in the interim time someone is seriously injured or killed as a result of this recall i want it documented that i made a good faith effort to report it to the nhtsa prior to any such incidents.

Similar to the recall on other model years, my 2016 gx 460 stalled while driving (coasting down a freeway offramp). The dealer could not identify an issue with the engine, but it seems this current recall is similar enough that it would have been the cause.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 lexus gx460. While pulling into a parking space at 3 mph, the engine started to make a loud abnormal noise and the vehicle inadvertently accelerated. The brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop. As a result, the contact crashed into two parked vehicles before coming to a complete stop. The contact sustained thumb injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent auto body shop. The contact called king sport lexus at (423) 224-2270 (located at 2527 e stone dr., king sport, tn 37660) and was advised to call the toyota manufacturer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called the manufacturer and case number: [xxx] was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 7,373. *tt information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

My new 2016 lexus gx460 suv have 5k miles on it and i noticed it leans more to the right side than left side (about 1-1/2 inch difference) looking from behind the vehicle leans excessively to the right. I took it into the dealership for service and for them to checked it out but they didn't fix the issued and told me that's normal for this year 2016 lexus. But they honored to fixed my friend vehicle 2014 lexus gx460 (same issued ) this is the refer to tsb l- sb-004 -14 he got his vehicle right front spring ,coil replaced from the dealership under warranty.

My wife reported sudden acceleration within seconds of pulling out of our driveway. No traffic, flat surface, daytime, good driving conditions. She says the car suddenly accelerated while approaching stop sign/t-intersection and brakes did not work. Car hit curb during abrupt left turn blowing out tire, then hit fire hydrant which it dragged before stopping. Toyota conducted edr readout and says they test drove the car. 6 weeks later they said no defects found. I requested an explanation of edr - but i have not received. Based on my wife's immediate and clear observations of event and the edr report i am not convinced. For example - edr shows accelerator was depressed 100% for 3.5 seconds with no brake pressure - yet car did not speed up, and actually slowed slightly to about 20 mph; 2.5 sec. Into acceleration event car mysteriously shifted into park. Need explanation how that happened, or if even possible. Zero chance my wife shifted it.. The last second of the recorded event both brake and accelerator were depressed 100% - wife says no way she used two feet. Rpm went from 3,600 to 5,900 and car kept moving forward with 100% brake pressure report - report ends at car still going 8.7 mph. Toyota says car was "test driven" and no defects found - yet the car has been undriveable since the accident (i.E.- missing a tire). Lots of questions, getting no answers and reasonable assumptions/observations and edr makes no sense of it

I purchased this lexus 2016 gx460 when it was new. After coming to a complete stop at a traffic light on a city street and with the vehicle still in drive and brakes applied, the brakes release slightly after 10-20 seconds, just enough to allow the car to creep forward. The lexus dealership claims not to have heard of this problem, yet they told me to wait until i have 5,000 miles on the odometer and then bring it back for maintenance. I don't know why they're unfamiliar with the problem; there are many comments on lexus forums about it happening to other owners.
