The ABS actuator is making a creaking noise when the car is not moving and I am stepping on the brake. The noise goes away when I am stepping on the brake very lightly or when I let go of the brake. I googled this problem and I have seen a lot of people having this same kind of problem. On the lexus forum they said that there is a recall on this but I could not find the recall document.

I recently purchased a used 2007 lexus rx 440h with 22,000 miles on the odometer. Immediately (and several weeks prior to learning of potential toyota and lexus acceleration and braking issues) I noted that when braking from a low speed, say 20 MPH at a stop sign, the brakes would initially take hold in a normal manner and then, for a very brief time, it felt as if the car was sliding, then the brakes would continue to take hold and bring the car to a normal stop. Typically this has occurred on a snowy or icy surface, but I have not detected the ABS kicking in at any time. The ABS has operated normally under other circumstances. At first I attributed this to the hybrid technology and regenerative braking system on the car. However, it now sounds exactly like the experience those driving prius and lexus 250h automobiles have described that has been reported in the media. This braking anomaly occurs exactly the same way every time it occurs and it occurs frequently. So far I have owned the vehicle for less than one month.
