The Variable Valve Timing gear housing and sprocket could separate and result in the engine stopping while the vehicle is being driven.
If the vehicle is being driven and stops unexpectedly this poses a hazard to the driver and other road users.
Customers will receive a letter instructing them to take their vehicles to their preferred Lexus Dealer for replacement of the camshaft timing assembly.
