2010 Lexus GX460 Recalled for Stability Control Issue
Jake Holmes covers the recall but questions whether the Consumer Reports warning warranted a recall.
Quotes from the story:
Lexus stopped sales of the GX460 after Consumer Reports issued a Dont Buy: Safety Risk warning. During CRs elicit reaction performance test, the magazine found that the rear of the GX460 could slide nearly 90 degrees before the stability control system intervened, which could potentially cause a rollover.
We're still a little skeptical the problem requires such a panicked response.
CR notes that there have been no recorded GX460 rollovers, and the SUV slid only after drastic driving inputs. Still, Lexus says its engineers reproduced the problem and believe the software fix will prevent such handling traits.
