Default 2014 LS460 TSBs

Does anybody have a listing of the TSBs issued for the 2014 LS460? LexusTSBs.com use to have this information on all Lexus vehicles but the site has mysteriously "disappeared"!

I created a thread on how to look up LS460 TSBs:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...00h-tsb-s.html

It should work for 2014. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the data, of course.

Thanks GBP. I tried the link and it worked up to a point. It does list the TSBs but when you click on them, nothing happens (the actual TSB details are not available). Do you know if these are available anywhere without paying a subscription (eg AllData)

I think other sites require a subscription for the TSB details. It's odd. Some TSB's show the bulletin for me; others just give a blank screen,

I have same year in a long WB and with AWD. So interested in what you learn and where you find access to TSB's.

Found it. It's on the NHTSA website. Takes a bit of juggling around the site to find it. Input the make, model and year and go to "manufacturer communications". Go to the TSB in question and open it, ignore any "summary to be provided at a future date" statements, and go to "associated documents" and there it is.

Thanks, Keith. The NHTSA link is informative. I haven't looked thru all the 2014 LS TSBs, but have you found any that concern you? The three I have checked so far have to do with pre-delivery service. Thanks for sharing any further insights.

I wanted to check on L-SB-0103-14 - whine from the transmission at low speeds. Sounds like a drive train alignment problem as they replace mounts and crossbars to correct it.

How bad is the whine on yours, sktn? I recently test drove a 2013 and in my notes I jotted down a very faint whine when just starting off and when letting off the gas (under 15 MPH). Later in the day I thought the noise was more like an induction whistle, but perhaps it truly was drivetrain whine. Thanks for finding the links and sharing! My apologies if the TSB only applies to 2014, I haven't had a chance to look through anything specific to 2013 yet. Am curious how you would describe your whine.

This whine may be heard in RWD vehicles only. One less thing for me to worry about

The TSB applies to 2013-2015. I noticed it on a 2015 I test drove. The whine is very faint and only below 40mph but if it is a transmission alignment issues, then I want to get it fixed.
