Lexus recently ordered a worldwide recalls of its LS models due some problems with the steering wheel's Variable Gear Ratio System. The VGRS system enables easier handling during low-speed driving and provides better stability during high-speed driving than conventional steering by changing the gear ratio.
The VGRS system may exhibit a temporary steering wheel off-centre condition after driving away quickly from a very tight turn where the steering was at full lock position. The steering wheel off-centre position will automatically be corrected in approximately five seconds by the VGRS system as the vehicle is driven. The driver may notice the system auto correcting as the steering wheel slowly moves to the centre position while driving straight during the VGRS correction. Due to the specific driving circumstances, this condition will not occur during normal driving such as changing lanes or turning at intersections.
There are less than 10 units of Lexus LS460L and LS460 Sport affected and Lexus Malaysia has taken proactive measures to contact all its owners and take the necessary steps to rectify the problem, watch the video below to see how it happens.
