Lexus May Recall 11,500 LS Models For Steering Issues
By Chris Weiss
Wow, it looks like that ongoing investigation about Toyota’s past negligence in reporting safety issues has finally struck a chord. After receiving just 12 complaints (or so it’s saying), Toyota has snapped into action and announced an upcoming recall on affected models. The report originated in Wall Street Journal early this morning.
The recall, which has to do with faulty electronic steering, will affect 4,500 LS460, LS460L, LS600h and LS600hL sedans in Japan. Another 7,000 in other markets around the globe, including about 3,800 in the U.S., may also be affected by the issue. No word yet on the timing of the recall. [WSJ via LeftLaneNews]
