Known issues for this generation
NHTSA campaign 18V887 covers certain 2008-2019 Lexus LX 570 vehicles (and Toyota Land Cruiser): over time, the seat belt tension sensor wire harness may break and deactivate the front passenger air bag, knee air bag, and passenger seat-mounted side airbag. In the event of a crash, deactivated air bags can increase the risk of injury. Dealers modify the front passenger seat belt assembly or replace it with an improved one, as necessary, free of charge. Separately, campaign 20V682 covers certain 2018-2019 LX570 vehicles among a larger Toyota and Lexus population for a low-pressure fuel pump that may fail and cause an engine stall while driving.

Known issues for this generation
NHTSA campaign 25V767 covers certain Lexus LX vehicles equipped with a V35A engine, along with certain 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra and 2024 Lexus GX vehicles. Debris from the manufacturing process may contaminate the engine and cause the main bearings to fail, which can result in an engine stall and loss of drive power. A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. Dealers inspect the #1 main bearing using vehicle inspection software and drive data and, if necessary, replace the engine, free of charge. The campaign expands previous NHTSA recall 24V381. Separately, campaign 22V239 covers certain 2022 LX 600 vehicles among other Toyota and Lexus models: the Skid Control ECU software may not turn the Vehicle Stability Control system back on when the vehicle is restarted after the driver has disabled it, and driving with a deactivated stability control system increases the risk of a crash. Dealers update that software free of charge.
