NEWS:
Toyota Recalls 34,400 Lexus Cars In US For
Fuel Pipes
CNN Money --
November 29, 2007 -- Toyota Motor Corp.
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.

NOVEMBER 2007 -- Toyota is recalling 34,343 MY
2006 Lexus GS and IS 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). Fuel leakage in the presence
of an ignition source could result in a fire. Dealers will
replace the two involved fuel lines with newly designed lines
free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during December
2007. 07V545
