AcworthDad Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) From today's MDJ...for those who own Toyota Lexus models: Toyota recalls 1.7M cars for fuel leaks From wire reports TOKYO — Toyota recalled nearly 1.7 million cars worldwide Wednesday for possible fuel leaks, the latest in a ballooning number of quality problems that could further tarnish the company’s reputation in the United States. The recalls are mostly in Japan, but include Lexus IS and GS luxury sedans sold in North America. That’s where the world’s No. 1 car company faces the biggest challenges in winning back customer trust. U.S. dealers will inspect cars to see if loose fuel pressure sensors caused leaks. There were no accidents suspected of being caused by those problems, according to Toyota. The car maker has received 77 complaints overseas, 75 of them in North America, and more than 140 in Japan.

AcworthDad Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Well at least its not a safety problem... ....according to Toyota. Whenever a gasoline leak is concerned, you'd better get it fixed immediately. I'd make them tow my Lexus to the dealer. Edited January 27, 2011 by PowderSpringsDad Link to post Share on other sites
CedarcrestPC Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah, thats scary. I had a friend walk out into the garage one day and a connection had come loose, he had fuel all over the place under his car. Very dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites
