Lexus Lx570 Part of Toyota Safety Recall

Recall affects 2008-’19 model years over possible seat belt tension sensor malfunction.

Toyota’s two new safety recall involves certain 2008-2019 model year Land Cruisers and 2008-2019 model year Lexus LX 570 vehicles in the United States.

Approximately 89,700 vehicles are involved in this recall. The front passenger occupant classification system has a seat belt tension sensor that could malfunction over time and could cause the airbag warning light and the passenger airbag “OFF” indicator to illuminate. In addition, the front passenger airbag, knee airbag, and the passenger seat-mounted side airbag may be deactivated. If these airbags are deactivated, there is an increased risk of injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.

Toyota is currently developing the remedy and will notify owners by mid-February.
