affecting 1.7 million cars over concerns of possible fuel leaks and other
defects.
Although most of the recalls affect Japanese car owners, there are also a
number of cars (to the tune of 421,000) in the rest of the world. A huge
portion of those defects affect the Toyota Avensis model in Europe and IS
and GS Lexus models in North America.
The fuel leakage problem isn’t life threatening – it’s due to an improper
installation of a sensory to measure fuel pressure. This can cause the bolt
to loosen over time as a result of engine vibration – which would then
lead to fuel leakage. No accidents have been reported because of this flaw.
Some of the vehicles mentioned in the recall:
- Lexus GS300/350 Model made in 2006/2007
- Lexus IS250s made between 2006 and early 2009
- Lexus IS350 produced between 2006-2008
- Lexus IS250 petrol engine between August 2007-February 2009
- Avensis 2.0 litre & 2.4 litre petrol engine models between July
2000 – September 2008
Toyota announced that owners of these vehicles will be notified by mail.
