Published 2018-02-11

What the hazard is

If this occurs, the airbag warning light will illuminate. Also, the side/curtain shield airbags and/or front airbags may become deactivated. Non-deployment of the side/curtain shield airbags and/or front airbags could increase the risk of injury to the occupants in the event of a crash.

What to do

Lexus will notify owners by mail to make an appointment with an authorised Lexus Dealer to inspect the airbag sensors and replace if necessary. For further information, contact your nearest Lexus Dealer or the Lexus Customer Assistance Centre on 1800 023 009 between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.

Defect

Affected vehicles are equipped with an airbag system that uses pressure sensors and/or G sensors to detect impact to the vehicle. There is a possibility that the insulation layers of the Integrated Circuit (IC) chip within the airbag system could peel over time, creating an open circuit in the IC chip.
