Lexus Recalls Certain Cars Due To Fuel Leak Dangers

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Toyota is recalling certain 2007-2011 Lexus GS350 and GS450h, 2006-2013 Lexus IS350 and 2010-2014 Lexus IS350C vehicles, equipped with 3.5L V6 2GR-FSE gasoline engines. The diaphragms in the fuel pulsation dampers may harden over time, leading to cracks that could cause a fuel leak.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel delivery pipe with a new pipe that has improved pulsation dampers, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin August 9, 2018.
