What to Do If You Have Been Injured In a Recalled Lexus

The Toyota recall list continues to grow. To date, the number of recalled Toyotas includes at least 8.5 million cars that were cited as potentially experiencing unexpected acceleration.

As if that wasn't enough, the Lexus recall has also expanded from its original scope. If you have been injured in a car accident with a recalled Lexus in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, you may be entitled to file an auto manufacturer defect claim.

The first step you need to take if you have been injured is to contact a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer who can look at the specifics of your case and explain your legal options.

Recalled Lexus Vehicles

All Lexus drivers need to be aware of the latest Toyota recall concerning the Lexus 2010 HS. This Lexus recall was initiated because of floor mat problems interfering with the accelerator pedals. Lexus models included in earlier floor mat pedal recalls include:

• 2006 - 2010 IS 250
• 2006 - 2010 IS 350
• 2007 - 2010 ES 350

These are not the only Lexus models affected by the Lexus recall. The auto manufacturer's first hybrid car, the Lexus HS250h is also being recalled. The Lexus HS250h brakes can momentarily cut out when the vehicle hits a pothole or bump. Although this is a newer model Lexus that has only sold about 6,500 units, it is still cause for concern for those particular Lexus owners.

For one example of how these Lexus recall safety issues have had real world consequences, read about a family that was killed in their Lexus when it experienced unexpected acceleration.
