2010 Lexus LS460L 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.

I AM experiencing an anti lock brakes actuator failure. Upon starting the vehicle it gives the warning "stop the vehicle and contact a dealer". The extended warranty is limited by mileage and years.

Car dashboard and sideboards inside the doors start melting and become sticky when parked outside during summer. Material is so sticky that it comes on hands and clothes, and it also leaves smell and possible fumes in the car

Electrical System · reported Oct 25, 2017

This vehicle seems like it was damaged from the start. Ever since this car was purchased from prestige lexus nj, it's just been giving us problems all the time. It seems like this car was factory damaged, or the dealership rewinded the mileage on the car because a car at 30,000 miles shouldn't have problems constantly. We payed a lot for the car and plus extra 2.000$ for warranty doesn't help at all, these company's just want money, they never help.

On 08/27/2018 at 11:30 a.m. I was driving on the extended on-ramp to route 288 in chesterfield county, va at about 55 MPH. It was sunny, not humid and the temperature was in the high 70's; the roadway was smooth and clear of obstructions. My A/C was on, the windows were up and my moonroof was closed and the shade protector was shut. There were no vehicles in my sight in any direction. All of a sudden, I heard a very loud noise, like a shotgun going off in a closed room, and in my rear view mirror I saw debris coming from my vehicle and landing on the roadway behind me. Thinking that something…
