ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Safety Recalls

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 after checking repair availability with your dealer. This timing describes the original 2009 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
