Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Toyota is recalling approximately 509 Lexus LS500 and LS500 Hybrid vehicles from the 2018-2021 model years equipped with the "Executive Package." An internal assembly issue in the front passenger seat can interfere with the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor, leading it to incorrectly detect whether a passenger is present. If the sensor fails to correctly identify the occupant, the front air bag may not deploy as intended during a crash. Owners can have their front passenger seat inspected and repaired by a dealer at no cost.

Risk

If the sensor incorrectly detects the passenger, the air bag may deploy improperly or fail to deploy during a collision, significantly increasing the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.
