Sixteen days after the Lexus GX 460 landed on Consumer Reports "Do Not Buy" list and Toyota issued a stop-sale on the luxury 'ute, Lexus has developed a fix for the stability control issue discovered by CR and has begun rolling out the fix.



In a statement issued by Mark Templin, the Lexus Group Vice President and General Manager says that the automaker's engineers were able to recognize and develop a remedy for the stability control system which CR deemed unsafe during its "Throttle Lift Off" test.



In addition to resuming sales, dealers began contacting customers yesterday to start issuing the software update and Lexus owners can expect their GXs to be reprogrammed within a week. For owners who still don't wish to drive their affected SUV, Lexus will continue to offer a courtesy vehicle free of charge. Full details in the press release after the jump.
