The Lexus LX is a luxury SUV that has been an icon of automotive engineering for years. Recently, a voluntary recall was issued for the Lexus LX in India due to a gearbox software fault affecting approximately 117 vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between March 6, 2025, and September 29, 2025. As a flagship model of the renowned Japanese automaker, the Lexus LX is a symbol of quality, combining advanced technology with superior performance. Despite the issue, it’s clear that Lexus remains committed to ensuring the best for its customers, ensuring any fault is addressed swiftly.
Lexus LX Gearbox Issue
The Lexus LX, a premium luxury SUV from a renowned Japanese automaker, is facing an issue with its 10-speed automatic gearbox. The car uses linear solenoids for gear shifts, but if one of these solenoids fails, the engine may start revving much higher than expected before changing gears. This could cause power delivery issues or even serious damage to the transmission. In some cases, it might even result in a leakage of transmission fluid, making the situation worse. The Lexus LX relies on these parts to provide smooth and efficient driving, so any failure in these systems is significant.
