- Brake Actuator FailureSerious
The hydraulic brake actuator is a common failure point on this generation, leading to a loss of power assistance, very long pedal travel, and a loud barking or humming noise from under the bonnet. Repair bills are substantial, often exceeding £2,000, and the issue is more prevalent on high-mileage GS 450h and GS 430 models.
- Leaking Rear Shock AbsorbersModerate
The Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) shocks are prone to leaking and are extremely expensive to replace with OEM parts.
- Leaking Rear Shock Absorbers (AVS)Moderate
The Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) shocks fitted to higher-spec GS models are prone to oil leaks over time. A leaking shock causes a bouncy ride, uneven ride height, and can trigger an AFS warning light. Replacement with OEM parts is expensive.
