Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2011 Lexus RX350 passenger cars manufactured between August 30, 2010, and May 18, 2011, that are equipped with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM). These vehicles have an incorrect calibration in the hydraulic control valves, which could prevent the right front wheel from being controlled properly during antilock brake system or vehicle stability control operation. This condition could result in increased stopping distances, failure to adequately correct a vehicle slide, and an increased risk of a vehicle crash.

Dealers will replace the brake actuator with a new one at no charge. The safety recall began on September 8, 2011. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 to have the repair performed.
