• Recall 2016051 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the roll rate sensors in the airbag control module may improperly calibrate if the vehicle experiences a body roll motion approximately four seconds after the ignition is turned to the ‘on’ position. If the vehicle experiences another subsequent body roll motion, the system may erroneously detect a rollover, causing both of the side curtain airbags to deploy and the seat belt pre-tensioners to be activated. Unintended airbag and/or seat belt pre-tensioner deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could result in injury and increase the risk of a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the airbag control module with one which has improved programming.

Vehicle dashboard becomes shiny (almost like its melting) causing glare on the windscreen when exposed to sunlight. This makes driving difficult. Dashboard also emits odors causing nausea

Cracking dashboard and steering wheel (leather portion) sun burnt just missed the extended warranty enhancement program less than a month (05/17) so lexus offered me a freaking dash mat up to $200. What a total joke!

Received a letter from lexus on 11/20/2015 and spoke to lexus of san antonio, tx.,north central park. The letter indicated that the entire dash board had to be replace due to a fault of company's defect effecting the airbags. I have since then received a second letter, as it was stated, on the first letter that a replacement would come in to replace the old defective one. Since then lexus of san antonio has stated, as of this morning, that they are replacing them at 2 a week as parts come in. There are 100 vehicles in front of mine!!! If there is a time frame for replacements, i don't think mine would be replaced ever. Starting from today, there will be 50 weeks till i get called in. Is there going to be a solution for this replacement? Thanks. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

My dash has cracked all over the complete dash , not a small part , all of it . I was notified a year ago and it is still not replaced . You should not allow this to go this long and then an issue with an airbag came in the mail and it too has not been repaired ! Now the news says i live in a damp and humid area so does this mean i am in more danger ? Why are they not repairing these problems and why is the nhtsa not helping us?
