2 known faults

LS 500h 2WD

  1. Recall: brake booster pump (2019)

    Manufacturer recall

    Recall 19V-544 (US campaign): the brake booster pump can fail, which disables stability control and removes brake assistance. It concerns 2019 model year LS 500h cars; dealerships inspect and replace the pump if necessary, free of charge. Our sources do not establish whether this applies to cars sold in France: have Lexus check the serial number.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. Recall: occupant detection, passenger airbag (Executive trim)

    Manufacturer recall

    Recall 24V-275 (US campaign): the front passenger seat may have been assembled with interference between internal parts, which can affect the occupant classification sensor and prevent the passenger airbag from deploying correctly. It targets 2018-2020 LS 500h cars with the Executive pack; inspection and repair are free at a dealership. Our sources do not establish whether this applies to cars sold in France: have Lexus check the serial number.
