Recall 11V377 affects 32 2011 Lexus RX350 vehicles for incorrect hydraulic control valve calibration. Repair is free at any franchised Lexus dealer.
Lexus is recalling 32 2011 RX350 passenger cars under recall 11V377 because incorrect hydraulic control valve calibration can keep the right front wheel from being controlled properly during ABS or stability-control activation. The defect can increase stopping distance or reduce slide correction, which raises crash risk; the Lexus dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The 2011 Lexus RX350 in this recall is equipped with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management, a system that coordinates braking and stability control when the SUV starts to skid or when a wheel begins to lock. Inside that system, hydraulic control valves route brake fluid pressure to the wheels. During ABS, the antilock brake system that helps keep a wheel from locking, and VSC, the stability control system that helps correct a skid, those valves help decide how much braking force each wheel receives.
On affected RX350 SUVs, the hydraulic control valve calibration is incorrect. That means the computer's commands and the valve response do not match the way the system was designed to work. During ABS or VSC activation, the right front wheel is not controlled properly, so braking and stability correction at that wheel do not follow the intended pattern.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is tied to system actuation, so the driver will not get a separate symptom during normal driving before the condition appears.

What's the safety risk?
The brake actuator defect can increase stopping distance or prevent the vehicle from adequately correcting a slide, increasing crash risk. Drive cautiously and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Lexus dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Lexus RX350 is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Lexus dealer to schedule the free brake-actuator replacement that corrects ABS and VSC hydraulic-valve control.
- Bring the recall notice if Lexus mailed one. If not, reference recall number 11V377 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid abrupt stops when traffic allows.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lexus technician replaces the brake actuator with a new unit. The brake actuator is part of the hydraulic brake control system, so the service centers on the ABS and stability-control hardware described in recall 11V377. Parts and labor are covered by the recall, and the final dealer repair is free once available through the Lexus service desk.
