“On apr, 19th 2016 Lexus and toyota sent enhanced warranty on the brake actuators on these vehicles: 2006 ' 2007 gs 430, 2007 ' 2011 gs 450h, 2008 ' 2011 gs 460, 2007 ' 2012 ls 460, and 2006 ' 2008 rx 400h seem like the real problem haven't been solved and cars that were build after those years still reporting of same problem prematurely failing on brake actuators across the forums. Hope NHTSA look into this matter and have citizens drive road in safer environment. Sincerely,”
