Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Lexus LS460

While driving at highway speeds (70 mph) I encountered illumination of brake/abs warning lights on the dash advising me that the safety brake/abs/traction features on my car are non operational. Upon pulling over, I read a message displayed on the dash alerting me to take my car to the nearest Lexus dealer. Upon arrival at the Lexus dealership, I was advised by the service advisor that this is a common problem on this model and more likely then not the faulty brake actuator will need to be replaced. This was confirmed the following business day when I received a call from the service advisor confirming that the brake actuator has failed. Upon questioning the advisor of the cause, he once again acknowledged that this is a common problem and that Lexus has issued an updated part as a replacement. It concerns me that Lexus has not performed a voluntary recall on said brake actuator since this is a critical safety device and they (Lexus) acknowledge that there is defect to the original part by providing an "improved" brake actuator assembly. Furthermore, by performing a simple internet search I encountered numerous topics about identical issues as mine on the model/year (2007-2010 Lexus Ls460). I would like to duly request that ntsb performs an inquiry with Lexus regarding brake actuator issues stated above.

Brake failure. Foot on brake entering garage, no response from the brake pedal, pedal began to sink to the floor and the traction/skid control light came on, as pedal went to the floor car jumped several 100 rpm's, pedal still to the floor did not stop until running into garage cabinets. No abs noise, no abs light, no feedback from brake pedal. Foot was never on gas pedal nor was ever removed from brake pedal.
