Dubai's Al-Futtaim Motors has initiated two safety recall campaigns targeting 6,933 Lexus SUVs in the UAE, addressing separate issues with engine software and transmission defects. The programmes, carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, require owners to have their vehicles inspected or reprogrammed at no cost.
The first campaign, encompassing 3,222 vehicles, involves updating engine electronic control unit software to ensure proper accounting for cooling fan operation during acceleration. This update aims to prevent discrepancies between actual engine output and specified standards. The second campaign, covering 3,711 vehicles, focuses on correcting potential issues with the 10-speed automatic transmission, which could result in excessive gear rotational speed, transmission damage, and loss of driving force or fluid leakage.
Lexus LX500 and LX600 models from 2021 to 2024 are affected by these recalls, with owners expected to be contacted to schedule service appointments. Vehicle identification numbers are required to verify if a specific vehicle is included in the recall.
