What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2020-2022 model year vehicles including the Lexus LX 600, NX 350h, NX 450h+, LS 500h, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime, Mirai, Sienna, Venza, and Highlander Hybrid. The Skid Control ECU software in these vehicles may fail to reactivate the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system when the vehicle restarts after a driver has disabled it, which increases crash risk and violates federal safety standards.

Owners of affected vehicles received notification letters mailed May 27, 2022. The remedy is a free software update to the Skid Control ECU that dealers will perform. Affected consumers should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 for service, and can reference Toyota recall number 22TA03 or Lexus recall number 22LA01.
