Our 2003 lexus lx 470 is experiencing significant frame rust similar to the same model year as the toyota tundra and sequoia which were recalled. It is possible that the lx frames came from the same factory inferior quality of steel and/or received improper undercoating. *js
The frame and underbody components have an excessive about rust on them. There appears to be a defect in the corrosion prevention coating that should have been applied. The rust is significant enough to be a major safety issue and is unacceptable for a vehicle that is 10 years old. *tr
