Toyota is recalling approximately 560 model 2019 Model Year Lexus ES vehicles in the U.S.

The driver knee airbag may have not been fastened properly to the instrument panel, which could affect knee airbag deployment, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

What to do

Lexus dealers will inspect the driver knee airbag assembly and replace it with a new one, if necessary, at no cost to customers.

The recall is expected to begin in by late April 2019.

Owners may contact Lexus customer service at (800) 255-3987
