On July 24th, 2019, Lexus filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NCIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety (Noncompliance) Recall on certain 2019 model year ES 300h, certain 2019 model year LC 500, certain 2019 model year LS 500, certain 2019 model year LS 500h, and certain 2019 model year UX 250h vehicles.
Condition
In the subject vehicles, there is a possibility the brake booster pump may have been manufactured improperly, and in some cases, it may stop operating. If the brake booster pump stops operating, multiple warning lights and messages will illuminate, and/or audible chimes will sound. In this condition, braking assist could be lost completely after several brake pedal applications, resulting in increased stopping distance. In addition, the Vehicle Stability Control will become deactivated, and other vehicle features could be affected. Deactivating the Vehicle Stability Control system may cause the subject vehicles to not meet the certain requirements of FMVSS No. 126. A deactivated Vehicle Stability Control or a sudden and complete loss of braking assist while driving could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
The remedy will consist of replacement of the brake booster pump with a new one, FREE OF CHARGE. Refer to the table below to determine the remedy status of vehicles involved in KLF.

Note: (1) Although the involved vehicles are within the above production period range, not all vehicles in this range were sold in the U.S.
(2) Only vehicles in the above production range which had a brake booster pump containing a plastic brush holder produced with an improper shape discussed below could be affected.
- Total Number of Vehicles Involved:
Total: 6,925
- Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Noncompliance:
Based on production records during the specific manufacturing process discussed below, Toyota estimates approximately 25% of the vehicle population may contain a brake booster pump which was manufactured with inappropriate parts. However, whether the noncompliance is present on each potentially affected vehicle depends on the variation of each individual part.
- Description of Noncompliance:
The subject vehicles are equipped with a brake booster pump consisting of an accumulator and a pump motor which contains a plastic brush holder to hold the motor brushes. There is a possibility that the plastic brush holder may have been produced with an improper shape, causing one of the brushes to become stuck in the brush holder. If this were to occur, the brush would be unable to maintain an electrical connection within the motor and may cause the pump motor to stop operating. If the pump motor stops operating, multiple warning lights and messages will illuminate, and/or audible chimes will sound. In this condition, depending on brake fluid pressure in the accumulator and brake pedal stroke amount, braking assist could be lost completely after several attempts to apply the brake pedal. In addition, the Vehicle Stability Control system will become deactivated, and other vehicle features could be affected. A sudden and complete loss of braking assist while driving could increase the vehicle stopping distance and may increase the risk of a crash. Further, deactivating the Vehicle Stability Control system may cause the subject vehicles to not meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 126, paragraph S5.1.2, which could increase the risk of a crash.
- Test Results and Other Information:
In late May 2019, warning lights were found illuminated on certain vehicles during a final inspection process for braking and/or while driving from the final inspection line to the vehicle yard at certain Toyota manufacturing plants. Toyota inspected these vehicles and found Diagnostic Trouble Codes related to the brake booster pump. Toyota and the supplier investigated the recovered brake booster pumps. The brush holder within the pump motor was found to be out-of-specification. The supplier found that a component of the upper mold of the die at one of two molding facilities used to produce brush holders was replaced on April 11, 2019, creating this condition. If the brush holder is out-of-specification, the Vehicle Stability
Control system may become deactivated. (In addition, the Regenerative Brake, Antilock
Brake, Electronic Brake force Distribution, Traction Control, Brake Assist, Brake Hold, PreCrash Brake, Adaptive Cruise Control, Intuitive Parking Assist, Intelligent Clearance Sonar, Emergency Stop Signal and Active Cornering Assist system will also become deactivated for certain vehicles, and for some vehicle models, the Electrical Parking Brake system function will also be limited.) As a result, it was determined on July 18, 2019, that some vehicles may not meet the requirement of S5.1.2 of FMVSS 126.
- Description of Corrective Repair Action:
All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota or a Lexus dealer. For all involved vehicles, based on the vehicle identification number or an inspection, the dealer will replace the brake booster pump, if necessary, with a new one at no cost.
Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies
As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota/Lexus New Vehicle Limited Warranty, all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s or Lexus’s Warranty.
- Recall Schedule:
Notifications to owners of the affected vehicles will occur by September 22, 2019. A copy of the draft owner notification letter(s) will be submitted as soon as available.
- Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule:
Notifications to distributors/dealers will be sent on July 24, 2019. Copies of dealer communications will be submitted as they are issued.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL (Remedy Notice)
Certain 2019 Model Year ES 300h Vehicles
Certain 2019 Model Year LC 500 Vehicles
Certain 2019 Model Year LS 500 and LS 500h Vehicles
Potential Loss of Power Brake Assist
NHTSA Recall No. 19V-544
Dear <FirstName/LastName>:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Lexus has decided that certain 2019 model
year ES 300h, certain 2019 model year LC 500, certain 2019
model year LS 500, and certain 2019 model year LS 500h vehicles fail
to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 126,
Electronic Stability Control Systems.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on
state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.
What is the condition?
In the subject vehicles, there is a possibility the brake booster pump
may stop operating. Braking assist could be lost completely after
several brake pedal applications, resulting in increased stopping
distance. Also, the Vehicle Stability Control will become deactivated,
and other vehicle features could be affected. Deactivating the Vehicle
Stability Control system may cause the subject vehicles to not meet the
certain requirements of FMVSS No. 126. A deactivated Vehicle
Stability Control or a sudden and complete loss of braking
assist while driving could increase the risk of a crash.
What will Lexus do?
Any authorized Lexus dealer will replace the brake booster pump with a new one, FREE OF CHARGE to you.
What Should You Do?
Please contact any authorized Lexus dealer to schedule
an appointment to have the remedy performed as soon
as possible. The remedy will require parts replacement.
We recommend you contact your dealer to schedule an
appointment in advance to confirm parts availability
and minimize your inconvenience. Your local Lexus
dealer will be more than happy to answer any of your
questions.

This is an important Safety Recall.
Brake booster pump replacement will take approximately three and a half hours to four and a half hours. However, depending on the dealer’s work
schedule, it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time. To minimize your inconvenience, your Lexus dealer may
offer you a FREE loaner vehicle while the repair is being completed on your vehicle.
If the condition occurs, multiple warning lights and messages will illuminate, and audible chimes will sound prior to losing power brake assist.
NOTE: It is possible for the lights above to be illuminated and the condition not be related to this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall.
If the vehicle is experiencing the condition described and you are unable to drive the vehicle to the dealership, please contact your local
authorized Lexus dealer who will arrange for vehicle pickup.
What if you are not the owner or operator of this vehicle?

lessee within ten days.
If you know the current owner or operator, please forward this letter to them.
If you would like to update your vehicle ownership or contact information, you may do so by registering at https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/.
You will need your full 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to input the new information.

IMPORTANTE RETIRO DE SEGURIDAD (Aviso de Remedio)
Ciertos vehículos modelo ES 300h del año 2019
Ciertos vehículos modelo LC 500 del año 2019
Ciertos vehículos modelo LS 500 y LS 500h del año 2019
Posible pérdida de la asistencia de frenos de potencia
No. de retiro de NHTSA 19V-544
Estimado (nombre/apellido del cliente):
Esta notificación se le envía de acuerdo con los requisitos establecidos en
el Acta de Tráfico Nacional y de Seguridad de Vehículos Motorizados.
Lexus ha decidido que ciertos vehículos modelo ES 300h del año 2019,
ciertos modelos LC 500 del año 2019, ciertos modelos LS 500 del
año 2019, y ciertos modelos LS 500h del año 2019 no cumplen con
la Norma Federal de Seguridad para Vehículos Motorizados (FMVSS,
por sus siglas en inglés) No. 126 “Sistemas Electrónicos de Control de
Estabilidad”.
Usted recibió este aviso porque nuestros registros, basados
principalmente en la información de registro y titularidad estatal,
indican que usted es el propietario actual.
¿Cuál es la condición?
En los vehículos afectados, existe la posibilidad de que la bomba del
reforzador del freno deje de funcionar correctamente. Se podría
perder la asistencia al frenado completamente tras presionar el pedal
del freno varias veces, lo que aumentaría la distancia de frenado.
Además, se desactivará el sistema de Control de Estabilidad del
Vehículo y también podrían verse afectadas otras funciones. La
desactivación del sistema de Control de Estabilidad del Vehículo
puede hacer que los vehículos afectados no cumplan ciertos
requisitos de la FMVSS No. 126. La desactivación del Control
de Estabilidad del Vehículo o la pérdida repentina y
completa de la asistencia al frenado mientras se está
conduciendo el vehículo podría aumentar el riesgo de
colisión.
¿Qué hará Lexus?
Cualquier concesionario Lexus autorizado reemplazará la bomba del reforzador del freno por una nueva SIN CARGOpara usted.
¿Qué Debe Hacer Usted?
Por favor, póngase en contacto con cualquier
concesionario Lexus autorizado para concertar una
cita a fin de realizar este remedio lo antes posible.
El remedio requerirá el reemplazo de ciertas piezas. Le
recomendamos que se comunique con su concesionario
para concertar una cita por adelantado para confirmar
la disponibilidad de las piezas y minimizar los
inconvenientes para usted. Su concesionario Lexus
local responderá con gusto a todas sus preguntas.
Para encontrar su concesionario más cercano, visite
www.lexus.com/dealers.
Para más información acerca de este Retiro de Seguridad
y otros, incluidas las preguntas más frecuentes, visite
www.lexus.com/recall. Ingrese su Número de Identificación
del Vehículo (VIN) de 17 dígitos que aparece en la parte
superior para revisar la información específica a su vehículo.
Si necesita más asistencia, puede comunicarse con el Centro de
Experiencia del Cliente de Lexus, al 1 800-255-3987, de lunes
a viernes, 7:00 a.m. a 7:00 p .m., sábados, 7:00 a.m. a 5:00 p .m.,
Hora Central.
Este es un Retiro de Seguridad importante.
El reemplazo de la bomba del reforzador del freno tomará aproximadamente entre tres horas y media y cuatro horas y media. Sin embargo,
dependiendo del horario de trabajo del concesionario, es posible que necesiten su vehículo por más tiempo. Para reducir al mínimo los
inconvenientes causados, su concesionario Lexus podría ofrecerle un vehículo temporal GRATUITO mientras se realiza la reparación en su
vehículo.
Si se presenta la condición, se iluminarán múltiples luces de aviso y mensajes y se emitirá una alarma sonora antes de perder la asistencia de frenos
de potencia.
NOTA: es posible que las luces mencionadas anteriormente se iluminen y que la condición no esté relacionada con este retiro de seguridad
(por incumplimiento).
Si el vehículo está experimentando la condición descrita y usted no puede conducir el vehículo hasta el concesionario, contacte con su
concesionario Lexus autorizado local para que dispongan la recogida del vehículo.
¿Qué sucede si usted no es el propietario o usuario de este vehículo?
Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, la Ley Federal exige que toda persona que arrienda vehículos y reciba este aviso de retiro de seguridad
envíe una copia del mismo al arrendatario dentro de los diez días.
Si conoce al propietario o usuario actual del vehículo, por favor, reenvíeles esta carta.
Si desea actualizar la información de propiedad de su vehículo o de contacto, puede hacerlo registrándose en
https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/. Necesitará su Número de Identificación del Vehículo (VIN) de 17 dígitos para ingresar la nueva información.

usted, puede presentar una queja al Administrador, a la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [Administración Nacional de Seguridad
Vial en Autopistas], 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, DC 20590, o llame sin costo a la línea directa de Seguridad Automotor al
