Toyota has suspended sales of its 2010 Lexus GX 460 worldwide after a US consumer magazine warning and said it would test all of its other SUV models.
The move came a day after it halted Lexus deliveries to the US and Canada in response to concerns by Consumer Reports that it could roll over.
The last time it judged a vehicle's performance unacceptable was in 2001.
Announcing roll-over tests on its other SUV models, the Japanese carmaker said it would not suspend their sales.
The other models include the Land Cruiser, Land Cruiser Prado and Rav4.
Outside the US and Canada, the 2010 Lexus GX 460 is sold only in the Middle East and Russia.
Toyota spokeswoman Mieko Iwasaki announced the suspension of all 2010 Lexus GX 460 sales in Tokyo.
Earlier, the company said it remained confident its vehicle was safe.
The carmaker has recalled over 8m cars globally due to safety fears over faulty accelerators, floor pedals that stuck in mats and braking issues.
