    In the meantime if you have any questions please contact your national distributor or alternatively please contact your local Lexus dealer.

  • The reasons for these recalls

    In the involved vehicles a safety defect may arise in certain Takata air bag inflators due to inflator propellant degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling. This may result in an inflator rupture when the air bag deploys.
