2007 Lexus LX470 recalls

Recall 10V-346: Steering

Reported Jul 29, 2010 · 39,159 vehicles affected · TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Problem: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2003-2007 lexus lx470 vehicles. The construction of the steering shaft is such that the snap ring on the shaft may disengage when the vehicle experiences an unusually severe impact to the front wheels. If the snap ring becomes disengaged and the steering wheel is then repeatedly turned to the locked position, over time the steering shaft may become disconnected.

Risk: This could result in loss of steering control increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the snap ring with a newly designed one and install an additional component which will prevent separation of the steering shaft. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on august 23, 2010. Owners may contact lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

Suspension · at 98,301 miles · reported Dec 20, 2014

Purchased vehicle from dealership. Drove home on the expressway. At 40-60 MPH after five minutes the entire under carriage starting vibrating and making a whistling sound. When I turn the vehicle left or right the car looses balance. I brought it back three times to the dealership and it is not fixed. They changed the wheel bearings both sides in the front, and a wheel alignment which did not solve the problem. I purchased this at m&I motors in highland park illinois.
