True predictions, The Detroit News reporting that Lexus has issued a stop sale its LS 460 and LS 600h (standard and long-wheelbase) luxury sedans due a problem electronic steering system that can temporarily cause steering wheel become off-centered. Apparently, wheel will return its correct position after about five seconds misalignment. Toyota issued a recall Friday, May 21st address defect. Click here see recall notice National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Although Toyota has reportedly fixed the problem on new models rolling down the assembly lines in Japan, those recalibrated machines not expected to hit dealership lots in America until the middle June. In the meantime, the 3,800 or so owners affected 2009 and 2010 LS sedans being urged to avoid turning the steering wheel rapidly after holding it in full lock in the opposite direction.
We would imagine that there are certain scenarios where following such advice may prove difficult to follow, but Toyota so far reporting that no injuries or accidents have been caused by the issue.
