PETALING JAYA: Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) is recalling the NX to replace the ABS actuator in the SUV.
The subject vehicles are equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking system (ABS), Traction Control System (TRAC), and Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC) which are controlled by the ABS actuator.
Due to the improper shape of a component inside the ABS actuator, there is a possibility that a resin component could be damaged during its press fitting assembly, creating minute resin fragment(s) which could become stuck in the actuator.
If this occurs, the oil pressure control may be delayed when the Anti-Lock Brakes are activated, causing a loss of vehicle stability and increasing the risk of a crash.
UMW Toyota Motor has been informed by TMC that there are around 255 units of Lexus NX made from November 2014 to March 2015 which are involved in this recall in Malaysia.
UMW Toyota Motor will contact all affected customers to carry out the necessary checks and/or repairs for free.
No other Lexus models sold by UMW Toyota Motor are affected by this recall.
