2010 Lexus LS460 recalls

Recall 14V-647: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Oct 15, 2014 · 422,509 vehicles affected · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

Problem: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Lexus LS vehicles manufactured May 9, 2006, to July 20, 2010, 2006-2011 Lexus GS vehicles manufactured January 6, 2005, to September 10, 2010, and 2006-2011 Lexus IS vehicles manufactured August 30, 2005, to September 10, 2010. Due to anti-corrosion plating remnants, fuel may leak from where the fuel pressure sensor is attached to the fuel delivery pipe.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will clean and reseal the fuel pressure sensor mounting area, free of charge. The recall began March 3, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Recall 10V-218: Steering

Reported May 21, 2010 · 3,800 vehicles affected · TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Problem: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 lexus ls460 and ls600 vehicles manufactured from august 20, 2009 through may 13, 2010. A programming change of the steering control ECU for the variable gear ratio steering (Vgrs) system can cause improper activation of the steering system protection logic designed to protect the system when larger than normal steering inputs are applied at a fully turned position.

Risk: Improper activation of the steering system protection logic can cause the steering wheel to become off-centered up to 90 degrees. This may occur after the driver has fully turned the steering wheel in one direction then quickly attempts to turn it back to the center position. Should this occur while driving, the risk of a crash is increased.

Fix: Toyota will notify owners and lexus dealers will replace the steering control ECU free of charge. The safety recall began on july 12, 2010. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Service Brakes · at 195,000 miles · reported Jun 14, 2018
I AM experiencing an anti lock brakes actuator failure. Upon starting the vehicle it gives the warning "stop the vehicle and contact a dealer". I have did this and found that this is an issue that toyota/lexus is aware of as they have issued a service bulletin about it and offered an extended warranty. However, the extended warranty is limited by mileage and years. Being a key safety component in vehicle operation, I AM requesting this issue be converted into a recall. I have tried to get repair assistance from lexus customer support and they denied the request based on mileage.
