Manufacturer
TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.
What Happened
The fuel pressure sensor in your vehicle is a small part that helps control how much fuel goes to your engine. Unfortunately, some models from 2006-2007 Lexus IS and GS vehicles have a sensor that wasn't tightened properly, which could cause it to loosen over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor loosens, fuel could leak out and, if there's an ignition source nearby, it could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your Lexus dealer will check for any fuel leaks and tighten the sensor properly. If there is a leak, they'll replace the gasket and tighten the sensor again – all for free.

Critical #09V020000 Plain English
Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Manufacturer
TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.
What Happened
Your vehicle's fuel delivery pipes, which carry gasoline from the engine to the fuel injectors, are made of aluminum and can corrode when exposed to low-moisture ethanol gasoline. This is a common issue with some 2006-2008 Lexus models.
Risk if Unfixed
Over time, the corrosion can create a small hole in the pipe, causing fuel to leak out. If this leak is near an ignition source, like the engine, it could lead to a fire.
Free Fix
Your Toyota/Lexus dealer will inspect and replace the fuel delivery pipes with new ones, at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
