What Happened
The fuel delivery hoses in your vehicle are like the pipes that carry gasoline from the engine to the fuel injectors. In some 2014-2015 Toyota and Lexus models, these hoses can develop a leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If one of these hoses leaks while you're driving, it could spill gasoline near the engine. If an ignition source is nearby, this could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your Toyota or Lexus dealer will replace the suspect fuel delivery hoses for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and it's completely free for you.

In the affected vehicles, the left-side front suspension lower arm may have been incorrectly manufactured. As a result, the left side lower arm may not have enough clamping surface area for one of the bolts that secures the lower arm to the lower ball joint.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Because of the insufficient clamping force, the lower arm may separate from the ball joint, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left side lower arm, free of charge. The recall began on December 12, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
If your Avalon or ES350 has a Pre-Collision System (PCS), it's designed to help prevent accidents by applying the brakes if it senses a potential collision. However, in certain situations, the system might mistake a steel joint or plate on the road for an object and brake unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your vehicle could suddenly brake, which increases the risk of a collision — especially at higher speeds.
Free Fix
Your dealership will replace the affected PCS components, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
