Lexus Recalls Certain Model Year 2015 NX Vehicles

TORONTO, Ontario, May 27, 2015 – Toyota Canada Inc., announced that it is conducting a safety recall of approximately 514 model year 2015 Lexus NX 200t vehicles. 

The subject vehicles are equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking system (ABS), Traction Control System (TRAC), and Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC) which are controlled by the ABS actuator.  There is a possibility that a component inside the actuator could be damaged during assembly and later not operate properly.  Under some driving conditions, if the ABS is activated, this could cause a loss of vehicle stability, which can increase the risk of a crash.

To date, Toyota is not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this condition.

All known owners of the involved Lexus vehicles will be notified by mail.  Lexus dealerships will inspect the ABS actuator and if necessary replace it with a new one.

Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time.  For the most up-do-date recall information, customers should contact Lexus Customer Service at 1-800-26-LEXUS (1-800-265-3987).
