Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2022-2024 Lexus LX vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the front passenger seat may have insufficient clearance between the seat frame and the stopper. This condition can cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant, causing the vehicle to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

Incorrect detection of an occupant may result in improper air bag deployment during a crash, which increases the risk of injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Dealers will inspect and replace the front passenger seat frame assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on April 27, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, which is anticipated for September 17, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's recall numbers for this action are 26LB03 and 26LA03.
