New Delhi: The flagship luxury SUV from Japanese carmaker Lexus has issued a voluntary recall for their SUV, the LX, over a potential gearbox software malfunction. Around 117 Lexus LXs have been recalled in India, with the vehicle recalls being the ones made between March 6th, 2025, and September 29th, 2025.
According to Lexus, the issue is in their 10-speed automatic gearbox. The company stated that the Lexus LX relies on linear solenoids for gear shifts. It further said that the failure of one of the solenoids will lead to the engine revving much higher than its intended limit before shifting the gear.
The problem might lead to reduced power being delivered or even damage inside the transmission. In some scenarios, it might result in the leakage of transmission fluid in the Lexus LX.
Authorised dealerships, in order to fix the issue, will update the ECM (electronic control module), which manages both the engine and transmission. More importantly, the needed software will be updated in the flagship SUV by Lexus in line with this being a voluntary recall.
Furthermore, the owners of the affected Lexus LX models have likely be contacted by the dealers. However, the customers can also check with their nearest service centres to check if their model is affected and included in the recall.
With the Toyota Land Cruiser, sharing this same platform, the flagship Toyota SUV has faced similar issues, with 969 units of the Land Cruiser 300 being issued a voluntary recall. The Land Cruiser 300 that was produced between September 4th, 2024, and September 30th, 2025, have been recalled regarding the potential fault in their automatic transmission, quite like the Lexus LX.
