The 2008 Lexus LX570 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the accelerator pedal getting trapped by a floor mat, causing the throttle to stick wide open and making the vehicle extremely difficult to slow or stop.
Both remaining recalls involve airbags that may fail to protect front passengers in a crash. In one, the vehicle may have been built with an incorrect driver or front passenger airbag that does not deploy as intended. In the other, a wire harness connected to the seatbelt tension sensor can break over time, shutting off the front passenger airbag, knee airbag, and the seat-mounted side airbag without the driver's knowledge.
