It appears that Toyota has problem again as the Japanese manufacturer is preparing to recall 11,500 Lexus vehicles worldwide for problems related to steering.
The recall includes 3,800 in the U.S., 4,500 in Japan and 7,000 vehicles overseas, according to Mieko Iwasaki, a Lexus spokeswoman. The recalling includes four models from Lexus: the LS 460, LS 460 L, LS 600h, and LS 600h L. It appears that in Japan the customers already reported the fact the their wheels are not returning to original positions fast enough after making turns. Spokesman admitted the fact that their problem is mechanical and software- related. For those who don’t know, Lexus already had some problems last month when Consumer Reports magazine labeled their GX 460 SUV as a ‘safety risk’ because the car could roll over in certain driving conditions.
