• 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 2011081 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, if the forward retention clip used to secure the floor carpet cover, which is located in front of the center console, is not installed properly, the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal and interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal arm. If this occurs, the accelerator pedal could temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position, rather than return to the idle position. This could result in a loss of throttle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the floor carpet cover with a newly designed version. Note: this campaign also covers vehicles which may have been previously included in recall 2006168 (toyota 609).

Brake actuator failure reported by dealer because booster pump is running frequently. No info from toyota and toyota declined repair . Dealer indicates my vehicle is not under extended warranty. 117000 miles on my car.

Car has been making a clicking noise during stops for a year. I chalked it up to something unimportant. On 2/20/21, the 'check avs,' 'check abs,' and 'check brake system' lights all came on, and car lurched while backing out of my driveway. I was driving my wife and daughter at the time. Brought lexus to my local mechanic on 2/22/21. After several days, mechanic returned the car to me, saying he could hear the clicking and, according to his research, it could be the brake actuator given lexus had done a warranty extension on this part in 2016. He told me this repair would cost in the thousands of dollars, and advised me to contact lexus. Spoke with lexus brand manager on 2/25 who told me about warranty extension zlg for actuators in 2016, and told me that in order for lexus to ascertain whether or not the car was experiencing an actuator failure, it must be inspected by a lexus service center. Because i was told about the specific extension and asked to take it to lexus to diagnose the issue, i assumed lexus would cover the repair cost. I took the car to lexus santa monica on 3/2/21 and was notified that the problem was related to the brake actuator, and that the cost to repair would be $3000 plus tax. I relayed to lexus sm what i was told by lexus corporate, and lexus sm told me they would call lexus corporate and see what they had to say about warranty extension 'zlg.' ultimately, lexus would not cover cost because the part was outside the extended warranty. I spoke with another lexus case manager about why a warranty extension was offered as opposed to a recall, and he said i should lodge a complaint with nhtsa. I also spoke with his supervisor, who said lexus would never pay for a part outside a warranty, even a faulty part given an extended warranty. Nobody in the lexus chain of command can tell me if the car is safe to drive. I will support class action suit.

Brake actuator failure has been added to a bulletin for extended warranty and not a recall. This is a costly malfunction that toyota is aware of and they should take care of all vehicles as not to compromise braking and accident avoidance.

"check vsc" system with accompanying continuous beep noise, brakes become hard to push/activate. This started a few weeks ago, and would happen intermittently, and progressively longer in the dysfunctional brakes phase. I had an employee at auto zone clear the code 2 days ago, but the problem started again, intermittently upon vehicle start, but would go away shortly, with normally responsive brakes. This intermittent issue occurs when i am driving, therefore this is a serious road hazard as my brakes become significantly less responsive when the problem occurs. In other words, this occurs when stationary and when driving, intermittently.

I purchased a used 2007 lexus rx350 for my 16 year old daughter. It had a little over 100k miles. Everything worked perfectly, no complaints whatsoever. Until, my son borrowed it, and while he was driving it, he said it quit. He lost all power steering, so he pulled over. We called a tow truck to tow it to a mechanic. When the mechanic called me, he said the oil cooling line busted, which made the oil pump empty the engine's oil. He said it would need a whole new engine. He said the car is worth nothing. I paid $9k for this car a year ago, and now it is not worth $100. The mechanic said this is a known problem for toyota/lexus, but there was no recall. To me - this is unacceptable. In my opinion, since toyota knew of this problem, but didn't recall it, they either need to cover the cost of a new engine, or buy the car back from me. I am very upset over this.
