On certain vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly due to interference between seat components. As a result, the airbag system can turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated in the front passenger seat. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with the Executive package.
An airbag system that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Lexus will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front passenger seat. If interference is found, the dealer will adjust the seat as necessary, and re-calibrate the occupant classification system.
On certain vehicles, the low-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, then engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on.

Note: This recall is an expansion of recalls SRC R95/SRC R96 and SRC RA2/SRC RA3 (Transport Canada Recall Numbers 2020-005 and 2020-088).
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump.
