Recall Alert: 2025-2026 Lexus LX 600

by TTAC Staff

Published: February 23rd, 2026

Today's recall involves the 2025-2026 Lexus LX 600.

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing has issued a recall affecting 4,374 model-year 2025–2026 Lexus LX600 vehicles due to a powertrain software issue. If a transmission solenoid fails, communication between the transmission control unit and the engine control unit may be interrupted, which can lead to transmission damage.

To address the issue, dealers will update the transmission ECU software at no cost to owners. Notification letters are expected to be mailed on April 25, 2026. Toyota has assigned recall number 26LA01, and owners can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 for more information.

Original Guy on Feb 23, 2026

I have been attending Automotive Journalist School (online, part time), and any automotive components which lie deeper than the grille or the door cards mean nothing to me. Can someone please explain what a transmission solenoid is? Or are these the parts that I replaced way back when on my old truck when the real problem was a loose spark plug connection.... lol.

Meanwhile, Ford is leading the industry in recalls for 2026. But no word from TTAC.

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
