The 2011 Lexus LX570 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a floor mat that can trap the accelerator pedal wide open, making the vehicle difficult to slow or stop and raising the risk of a crash.
Two recalls affect the front passenger airbag system. In one, the wire harness connected to the seat belt tension sensor can break over time, deactivating the front passenger airbag, knee airbag, and seat-mounted side airbag, leaving those systems unable to deploy in a crash. In the other, certain vehicles may be fitted with an incorrect driver or front passenger airbag that may not deploy as intended during a collision, which also raises the risk of injury. Note that the airbag wiring issue applies to the 2011 model year, while the incorrect airbag recall covers only 2008 through 2013 model years, so owners should verify which recalls apply to their specific vehicle using its VIN.
