Known Recall Investigations
Pedestrian alert sounds investigation # DP22005
Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

Brake noise, like a seal is barking on application of brakes while driving. Dealer and lexus engineers state that it's normal, don't have a fix at the moment and released the vehicle. Brake was soft while driving and felt like brake pedal needs to be pushed much further to achieve braking on time.

As per lexus dealership, the electrical wires were chewed by rodents while parked in the driveway. After reading about this on the internet, it appears that this is a consistent problem with lexus vehicles because of the use of soy based electrical wires which the rodents are attracted to. None of mine or any other vehicle in the neighborhood have been affected by rodents, except for this 2019 model and it happened the very first time that it was not used for more than a couple of days.
