Fitment is what separates this 2017 Lexus GX 460 service and repair manual from a generic one: it is tied to this model year, to the 4.6L V8 (1UR-FE) under the hood and to the trim you actually own, so the specification you read is the one Lexus published for this truck rather than a close approximation carried over from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 2017 GX 460. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all three land on the same component: the frontal passenger-side air bag inflator module. Two of them cover inflators that may explode, where an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death; the earlier of the pair reaches vehicles sold, or ever registered, in the states and territories Toyota groups as Zone A, while the later one reaches vehicles whose driver or passenger frontal air bag inflators had previously been replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The third covers a single 2017 GX 460, the one manufactured November 16, 2016, fitted with a Takata PSPI-LD front passenger air bag inflator that may have been manufactured without ignition booster tablets; the improper inflation of the passenger air bag may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Owners have filed 14 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you are verifying that an inflator replacement was carried out correctly or working through a scheduled service on the 4.6L V8, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2017 GX 460.

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling one 2016 Toyota 4Runner vehicle manufactured November 1, 2016 and one 2017 Lexus GX460 vehicle manufactured November 16, 2016. The affected vehicles are equipped with Takata PSPI-LD front passenger air bag inflators that may have been manufactured without ignition booster tablets. As a result, in the event of a crash, the air bag may not fully inflate during deployment of the primary stage. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
The improper inflation of the passenger air bag may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Toyota dealers have replaced the passenger side air bag modules, free of charge. Toyota notified the affected dealers on December 15, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is G06, GLR.

ARRIVED AT A WAREHOUSE TO UNLOAD BOXES FROM THE TRUNK OF CAR. HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE. BACKED INTO UNLOADING ZONE AND PARKED CLOSE TO THE DOOR. OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR LEAVING IT OPEN. PASSENGERS GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE LEAVING THE PASSENGERS DOOR OPEN. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE WAREHOUSE MANAGER, DRIVER AND PASSENGER STARTED TO UNLOAD THE VEHICLE FROM THE TRUNK. ALL PASSENGERS WERE OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN DRIVER WAS BEHIND UNLOADING BOXES

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH AND WAS HIT IN THE SIDE BY A DRIVER WHO RAN A STOP SIGN AT A SCREECHING HALT AND HIT MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR. I FLIPPED 2.5 TIMES AND LANDED UPSIDE DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE REAR WINDOWS MY CHILD. THE CAR KEPT ME SAFE AS FAR AS AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT. WE HAD SOME INJURIES BUT NO BROKEN BONES. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FIND THE GX IS KNOWN TO HAVE A STABILITY ISSUE AND FLIP FROM EVEN SMALL IMPACTS FROM THE SIDE. THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN WA
TURNING LEFT INTO NEIGHBORHOOD AND STRUCK REAR PASSENGER SIDE PANEL BEHIND THE TIRE (BUMPER AREA). I WAS GOING APPROX 10-15 MPH, OTHER VEHICLE (CAMRY) WAS GOING 40 MPH. CAR ROLLED TWICE. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL LEANING TO THE RIGHT, WHICH CAUSES AN INCREASED ROLLOVER RISK ON LEFT HAND TURNS. IT SEEMS THAT LEXUS IS AWARE, BUT HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. HAPPY TO PROVIDE PHOTOS OR ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION IF NEEDED.
The contact owns a 2017 Lexus GX460. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the braking system erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in the middle of the roadway. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on many occasions, but only occurred at the same location each time at on BWI Parkway, Rt. 195, ext. 22, located in Baltimore, MD. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was p
Navigation/Screen is black, can’t control heat/AC/defrost or see audio/nav, any safety concerns (fogging, distractions, etc.). Tire sensor on, due to sensor failure. Caused me to pull off the road. No way of actually being notified of a tire pressure safety issue.
This is a white Lexus, and the paint on the roof has a manufacture defect. It is chipping and peeling.
THE SUNROOF GLASS SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. THERE WAS NO PROJECTILE WHICH CAUSED THE GLASS TO SHATTER. WE WERE NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS NEARBY, AND THERE WAS FARMLAND ON ALL SIDES. *TR
The issue started with the engine stalling while I’m driving, and one day the car failed to start. I towed it to the dealership who said there is nothing wrong with the fuel pump and advised me to replace the battery. I replaced the battery and drove it for a couple more months, while the engine continued to stall from time to time and eventually failed to start again yesterday. It’s very apparent that the issue is with the fuel pump, and there is a recall for the fuel pump for the 2015, 2016, 2
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 LEXUS GX460. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65 MPH, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A SUDDEN STOP. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON ONE OCCASION THE CONTACT AVOIDED A NEAR COLLISION WITH A SEMI TRUCK. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONT
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAIN ROAD AND SOMEONE CUT ME OFF. I HIT THE OTHER CAR DIRECTLY. THE FIRE AND POLICE OFFICERS AT THE SCENE SAID THEY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED GIVEN THE EXTENT OF THE ACCIDENT. I'M FINE AND AM ACTUALLY THANKFUL THEY DIDN'T GO OFF BUT THEY SUGGESTED THAT I SUBMIT IT FOR INVESTIGATION.
The paint on the roof of this white Lexus is peeling and cracking. I took it to Lexus and they said since it was 5K miles out of warranty, they would not repair this manufacturers defect
THE VEHICLE LEANS TO THE RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) ABOUT 1 1/4 COMPARED TO LEFT SIDE SINCE DAY 1 AFTER PURCHASE. I CONTACTED 3 LEXUS DEALERS AND WAS TOLD "IT IS WITHIN SPECS". THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON GX 460 MODELS BUT LEXUS REFUSES TO ADMIT IT. THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT. THE VEHICLE HAS EXTREME BODY ROLL TO THE RIGHT DURING LEFT TURNS AND FEELS A LOT MORE STABLE DURING RIGHT TURNS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I CONTACTED THE LEXUS CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF
CAR WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A FLAT ROAD AT 5:30 PM WHEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. WE NOTICED THAT THE SUNROOF HAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED, BUT STAYED INTACT. SMALL SHARDS OF OF GLASS FELL INSIDE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 55 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUTSIDE AND 69 INSIDE. WE CLOSED THE COVER SO NO GLASS WOULD FALL INSIDE. THE SUNROOF DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ANYTHING HIT IT AND THE VEHICLE IS STORED IN THE GARAGE.
