NHTSA recall 26V180000 · Mar 24, 2026 · 15,264 vehicles
Problem: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Lexus LX vehicles. The front passenger seat may have insufficient clearance between the seat frame and the stopper that can cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Risk: Incorrect detection of an occupant may result in improper air bag deployment during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front passenger seat frame assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed April 27, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated between September 17 - October 1, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26LB03 and 26LA03.

Mar 1, 2025Power train I received notice over a year ago that the engine in my Lexus was defective and failure could cause damage, injury or death because the engine would seize up. We drive in rural areas, often outside of cell service. We are [XXX] and to be stranded, especially at night, would be very dangerous. I have made several calls to dealers and Lexus in Plano, and no one is willing to do anything about the problem they have created. They offer nothing.

Jul 28, 2026Engine and engine cooling The contact owns a 2023 Lexus LS 600. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V767000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), 26V18000 (SEATS, AIR BAGS); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
May 7, 2026 · 41,000 milesEngine and engine cooling The contact owns a 2023 Lexus LX 600. The contact stated that the rearview back up camera image displayed a distorted image. Another issue, the vehicle intermittently stalled when at a complete stop and going to accelerate. The vehicle was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.
Dec 21, 2025Engine Purchase Date of LX600: 10/26/2023 Date of Incident: 12/21/2025 While driving home (at about 65 MPH) the vehicle gave an alert on the dash which said Pull Over - Vehicle Losing Power and Shutting Down. Once this alert appeared on the dash, we had approximately 30 seconds to find a safe spot to pull over. The road that this happened on is a one lane road in each direction in a rural zone that is highly traveled by Semi Trucks. Luckily, there was a gravel spot on the road where we were able to stop the vehicle, just in time to avoid a catastrophe. On 12/22 we took vehicle to Lexus of Wesley Chapel where it currently is today. The Service Advisor (Sierra) confirmed this is part of the recall…
Nov 6, 2025Engine I am writing to report a concern regarding an unresolved safety recall for my 2023 Lexus LX 600. Lexus notified us of this recall on November 6, 2025. However, nearly four months later, the company continues to state on its website that no remedy is currently available. Given the significant purchase price of this vehicleâexceeding $100,000âI find it unacceptable that a resolution has not yet been provided. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and that appropriate action be taken to ensure a timely and effective remedy for affected customers.
Jan 2, 2026Engine I am filing this complaint regarding the handling of Safety Recall 25LA07 (NHTSA Recall ID 25V767) affecting my 2023 Lexus LX600. On January 2, 2026, I delivered the vehicle to the authorized Lexus dealer in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in response to the recall, which identifies potential engine knocking, rough running, engine no-start, and/or loss of motive power. These conditions represent serious safety risks. Since that date, the vehicle has remained at the dealership. More than five weeks have passed, and neither the dealer nor Lexus has provided a definitive remedy, technical instructions, or a timeframe for repair. We have been told they âdo not yet knowâ whether the solution will…
Dec 31, 2025Engine Description of Incident: This is a recurring safety defect that has occurred multiple times from August 2023 to February 2026. The following description refers to the most severe incidents: 1. NATURE OF DEFECT: The vehicle experienced a sudden "Limp Mode" event where all dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, followed by an immediate loss of propulsion while in motion. Subsequently, the vehicle suffered from a dangerous 3-second acceleration lag/delay. This 2023 Lexus LX 600 creates a life-threatening risk on public highways, as the driver cannot reliably control the vehicle's speed or power to avoid collisions. 2. MANUFACTURERâS ADMISSION: The vehicle has been presented to…
