However, they also informed that no other Toyota or Lexus vehicles would be involved in this large-scale safety recall.

An announcement had been made by Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan, in late July this year, and the action follows that very announcement.

Lexus has decided that the construction of the steering shaft on the LX 470s in question has been done in such a way that the snap ring on the shaft may possibly disengage when the vehicle experiences an unusually severe impact to the front wheels – like for instance when it strikes a deep pothole. So if the snap ring becomes disengaged the steering wheel would be repeatedly turned to the full locked position, then there would be a gradual disengaging over time, of the steering shaft.
