Due to an incorrect tyre to the wheel assembly process, the sidewall reinforcement layer may become damaged. Under certain driving conditions, parts of the tyre tread layer could consequently separate, causing a reduction of vehicle stability and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Lexus LS 500h models affected by this recall were produced between 2017 – 2018.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
