Lexus LS model possible problem - Lexusboy - 08-04-2018
Toyota is poised to recall nearly 4,000 Lexus luxury sedans in the United States, and 11,500 worldwide, to fix an issue with the car's steering.
The recall will cover the Lexus LS, the flagship sedan of the Lexus lineup. The recall will also cover LS sedans sold in Japan, Europe and China.
Lexus owners in Japan have complained that the front wheels of the LS don't return to the center position fast enough after making a turn. Fixing the issue will require mechanical and software changes, a Toyota spokesperson said

It maybe worth owners of these cars contacting there local dealers to see if their cars could be effected..

First dodgy accelerator pedals now dodgy steering, what next?
Definately a case of "they don't make em like they used to".

Or could it be a attack from the American car giants?

Probably just something similar to car recalls from other manufacturers which go on all the time, and aren't reported. The hysteria over the recent Toyota issues was ridiculous and blown out of all proportion.
Now I guess whenever Toyota announces a recall it's going to be more newsworthy, and as Lexusboy says, the American car companies would love to make more of it.
Steering which doesn't self-centre as much as some people want it to doesn't really sound like a big safety issue to me.
