The problem
On certain vehicles, high stress areas May have been created in two specific fuel pipes located in the engine compartment. Combined with other factors such as the presence of corrosive agents in fuel, a crack May form over time leading to fuel leakage from the fuel line(s).
The risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the two involved fuel lines with newly designed lines free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2007. Owners May contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
