POLL: Brake Actuator Failure > All 2007-12 Owners Please Respond
I don't see where this has been done but I'm curious to get a snapshot of failure rate in 2007-2012 LS460’s, and possible ties to brake fluid changes or lack thereof.
APPLIES TO 2007-2012 MODELS
It would be helpful for everyone to at least answer the poll ABOVE whether your actuator has failed or not.
More data points = improved accuracy.
If you like to post more details below, I encourage that in this format:
Year of LS460:
Current Mileage of LS460:
Year/Mileage of Fluid flush/change: (estimate if unsure of year, "haven't changed" if you're still on stock fluid, Reply "Don't know" if you're unsure on service history)
Year/Mileage of Actuator Failure: (estimate, or "Hasn't failed" if it's not been replaced).
I am curious to see what the actual rate of failure is, and if there is any correlation to brake fluid service being performed or not. We face a challenge of small sample size... so in reality we need as many responses as possible to have any real idea of trends. Hopefully we can get good participation.
Thanks!
