The recall involves 2006-'08 Lexus GS 300/350, Lexus IS 250/350 and Lexus LS 460/460L models.
In a statement, the upscale Toyota brand said that "some ethanol fuels with a low moisture content may corrode the internal surface of the fuel-delivery pipes. If this condition occurs, the malfunction indicator light in the combination meter may illuminate. Over time, the corrosion may create a pinhole in the fuel-delivery pipes, resulting in fuel leakage."
The fuel-delivery pipes will be replaced with newly designed components.
Toyota said no other Lexus or Toyota vehicles are involved in the recall. For more information, call Lexus at (800) 255-3987.
Inside Line says: If you own any of the aforementioned Lexus vehicles, contact your local dealer ASAP. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
