The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2011 Lexus RX350 passenger cars manufactured between August 30, 2010, and May 18, 2011. These vehicles are equipped with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM). The recall addresses a defect where the calibration for the hydraulic control valves is incorrect.
Due to this condition, the right front wheel may not be controlled properly during Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) or Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) actuation. This could result in increased stopping distances and/or a failure to adequately correct a vehicle slide, which could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Dealers will replace the brake actuator with a new one, free of charge. The safety recall began on September 8, 2011. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
