2006 LEXUS RX 400H Recalls — Canada & USA

These two recalls describe the same underlying defect and should be treated as one issue. The 2006 Lexus RX 400h has 2 recalls, both covering the same defect: a control board inside the hybrid system's inverter can fail while driving, triggering multiple warning lights including the brake system warning lamp. When the inverter control board fails, the malfunction indicator, slip indicator, brake system warning, and master warning lamps can all illuminate at once. While the input does not specify the exact driving consequence beyond the warning lights, a failure in the hybrid inverter can affect how the system manages power delivery and braking behavior in this hybrid model.

OTHER

Defect

On certain vehicles, a control board for the Intelligent Power Module (IPM), part of the hybrid system inverter assembly, could fail while the vehicle is underway. This could cause various warning lamps, including the malfunction indicator lamp, slip indicator lamp, brake system warning lamp, and master warning lamp, to illuminate on the instrument panel. If this occurred, in most cases, the vehicle would enter fail-safe driving mode, resulting in reduced motive power in which the vehicle could still be driven for short distances. In some instances, the fuse of the power supply circuit could blow, causing the hybrid system to stop functioning. The resultant loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the Intelligent Power Module.
