Buyer’s Guide
NEW FOR 2008:
- Exterior colours: Golden Almond Metallic added; Chardonnay Pearl deleted; Smoky Granite Mica now exclusive to Pebble Beach Edition
For 2008, the Lexus SC 430 convertible coupe is unchanged, save for exterior colours. The price is also unchanged from 2007.
The SC 430 uses a 4.3-litre V8 with six-speed automatic transmission that includes manual mode. It has a retractable aluminum roof that goes up or down at the touch of a button, and its climate control has an "auto" setting for open-air motoring, which directs the air into two streams when the top is down and the outside temperature is cool.
It comes in a single trim line, which includes 18-inch aluminum wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, CD/cassette stereo with nine speakers, DVD-based navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free system, heated ten-way power leather seats, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power locks with keyless entry, maple or walnut wood trim, cruise control, power tilt and telescopic wheel, garage door opener, driver and passenger knee airbags, first-aid kit, anti-theft system, auto-dimming heated side mirrors, water-repellent door glass, rear spoiler, adaptive auto-levelling high intensity discharge headlights with washers, fog lamps, and variable intermittent wipers.
The sole available option is the $3,100 Pebble Beach package, which adds unique 18-inch aluminum wheels, Espresso bird's-eye maple trim, fitted luggage, and unique badges and illuminated sill plates.
Technically, the SC 430 is a four-passenger vehicle, but the rear seat is very cramped, and it's best to consider it a 2+2. That's really a moot point anyway, as you'll want it all to yourself. It's a beautiful vehicle that offers quick acceleration and a smooth ride, and a roof that protects you from the elements in bad weather, and then disappears to let the sun shine in.

2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
Manufacturer Recall Number:
SRC R90 / SRC R91
Units Affected:
37,591
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.
Safety Risk:
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.
Corrective Action:
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator or airbag module replaced. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected. Additional Note: Vehicles may have had the original front passenger airbag inflator replaced as a “like-for-like” replacement under recall 2016-103 (Toyota Recall #'s SRC 241 & SRC 242) as a temporary remedy while evaluating a permanent remedy. These vehicles will receive the permanent remedy passenger airbag assembly under this recall.

Units Affected:

Notification Type:

On certain vehicles, the passenger (frontal) airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013113, 2014224, 2015197 and 2015269. Correction: All vehicles having not received a replacement inflator as part of the previous recall will now have a replacement inflator installed by dealers. For Matrix model vehicles, dealers may replace the front passenger airbag assembly with one equipped with a newly specified inflator.
