2023 Lexus LX recalls

Recall 26V-180: Air Bags, Seats

Reported Mar 24, 2026 · 15,264 vehicles affected · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

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.

Power Train · reported Oct 30, 2026
On October 29, 2026, while driving my 2023 Lexus LX 600 at approximately 30 mph on a local road immediately after exiting a 75 mph highway, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic loss of motive power. The engine completely seized while in motion, and the RPMs immediately dropped to zero. Multiple warning alarms triggered on the dashboard, displaying a fatal warning stating 'Loss of Power Steering' or 'Power Steering Failure.' Because the engine died, I instantly lost power steering and braking assists, making the SUV extremely difficult to control and pull over. Once stopped, the vehicle…

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.

Engine and Engine Cooling · at 41,000 miles · reported May 26, 2026
The contact owns a 2023 Lexus LX 600. The contact stated that the rearview back up camera image displayed a distorted image.

Engine · reported May 2, 2026
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…
Engine · reported Mar 4, 2026
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 vehicle—exceeding $100,000—I 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.
