Due to a recall notice issued last week, Japanese automaker Toyota has stopped the sale of one of its most popular models.

The company announced that it will stop selling Lexus sedans until parts for the recalled vehicles reach car dealerships. These parts are meant to fix a steering deficiency that could have potentially caused numerous car accidents.

According to news reports, drivers of the Lexus LS could experience their steering wheels stuck after making a sharp turn in either direction.

The recall notice for the Lexus LS last week affected a total of 3,800 vehicles in the U.S. and approximately 11,500 cars around the world.

Despite the recall, and the recent troubles Toyota has experienced, used car buyers may still want to look at older models of the carmaker’s award-winning Lexus LS brand.

The LS 430, which was produced from 2001 to 2006, was reviewed by editors at Edmunds.com as excelling in “both urban commuting and long-distance road trips” and that the “suspension easily soaked up road irregularities, especially when equipped with the optional air suspension.”
