Toyota Recalls 34,400 Lexus Cars In US For Fuel Pipes
CNN Money -- November 29, 2007 --
Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) said Wednesday
it will recall about a quarter of a million cars worldwide,
including 34,400 Lexus models in the U.S., due to potential
cracks in the fuel pipes.
The defect serves as another
speed bump for the world's second-biggest auto maker, which has
had to grapple with a surge in recalls and a ding in a recent
quality survey as it moves swiftly towards becoming the
industry's top dog.
The latest recall covers certain
2006 Lexus GS 300, IS 250 and IS 350 models in the U.S.
In
Japan, a total of 215,020 cars, including
Crown, Mark X and several Lexus models, built between
December 2003 and
December 2005 will also be called back for the
fix.
Toyota said there have been no
related accidents. Newly designed fuel pipes will replace the
old when the recall begins in December.
