APRIL 2010 -- Toyota is recalling certain
model year 2010 Lexus GX460 passenger vehicles manufactured from November 16,
2009 through April 8, 2010. If the vehicle is driven through a sharp turn at
high speed under certain conditions it could skid and could roll over. If the
vehicle strikes a curb or slides off the pavement, a crash could occur. Toyota
will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles by reprogramming the
vehicle stability control free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin
during May 2010. 10V-159
JUNE
2009 -- Toyota is
recalling 1,281 Model Year
2006 through 2009 Sienna,
2004 Land Cruiser, and 2009
Lexus GX passenger vehicles.
The vehicle capacity weight
on the tire and loading
information label and the
GVWR on the certification
label is insufficient for
certain vehicles. Some
vehicles were accessorized
through vehicle processing
centers and had accessories
installed that caused the
vehicle to exceed the GVWR
value. These vehicles fail
to comply with the
requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 110, "Tire
Selection and Rims," and 49
CFR Part 567. The GVWR is
insufficient for the load
carrying capacity of the
vehicles. Toyota will notify
owners instructing them to
return their vehicle to a
Toyota or Lexus dealer for
an exchange of the
certification label and the
tire and loading information
label, an installation of
the load carrying capacity
modification label, if
necessary, and a correction
to the owner's manual. This
remedy will be performed
free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin
during July 2009. 09V-234

Summary |
ON CERTAIN
VEHICLES
EQUIPPED WITH
THE LEXUS LINK
SYSTEM, IT MAY
BE DIFFICULT TO
LOCK ONE OF THE
TWO LATCHES ON
THE BOTTOM OF
THE MIDDLE ROW
LEFT REAR SEAT
(LARGER SIDE OF
THE BENCH SEAT
DIRECTLY BEHIND
THE DRIVER). DUE
TO THE THICKNESS
OF THE LEXUS
LINK SYSTEM
STORAGE CASE,
THE STOPPER ON
THE BOTTOM OF
THE SEAT IS
SLIGHTLY
ELEVATED. THIS
ELEVATED
POSITION
MISALIGNS THE
LATCH TO THE
STRIKER.
|
|
Consequence |
IF THE VEHICLE
IS OPERATED WITH
ONLY ONE LATCH
LOCKED, THE
OCCUPANT OF THE
SEAT MAY BE
IMPROPERLY
RESTRAINED IN
THE EVENT OF A
CRASH,
INCREASING THE
RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY.
