I was reading a piece on AutoGuideToday this afternoon regarding a recall for Lexus. Apparently the 2016 XLE is also included as I just got an alert from Carfax. Toyota is working on the fix. Anyone else heard of this issue?
http://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/06/toyota-rav4-lexus-rx350-es350-stability-recall/
The Basics: Toyota will recall 4,170 examples of the 2016 RAV4, 90 units of the 2016 Lexus RX350, and 12,400 units of the 2016 ES350.
The Problem: A component in the brake actuator assembly may have damage from a manufacturing error. The actuator controls the anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, and other systems. If the part doesn't work properly these safety systems might not activate properly.
Accidents/Injuries: Toyota spokesperson Amanda Rice told Autoblog, "Regarding the recent recalls, alleged crashes, injuries, and fatalities are reported in many ways to many different organizations. We are not providing specifics at this time."
The Fix: Dealers will check the brake actuator's serial number and will replace it if the part comes from a period when the damage could have happened.
If you own one: Toyota will contact affected owners by mail.
