oyota is voluntarily recalling about 245,000 Lexus cars sold in the U.S. because of a possible problem with the fuel pressure sensor installation. The models affected by the recall are 2006-07 GS 300 and GS 350, 2006-09 IS 250, and 2006-08 IS 350.
Insufficient tightening of the fuel pressure sensor, which is connected to some engine fuel delivery pipes that have nickel-phosphorus plating, may cause the pressure sensor to loosen. If this happens, fuel could leak past a gasket that's used in the connection between the sensor and the fuel delivery pipe. It could also leak through the threaded part of the sensor. Toyota says there have been no reports of accidents due to the defect, and we'll have more information once the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration releases the Defect Information Report later today.
Lexus dealers will inspect cars for fuel leakage. If no leakage is found, they will tighten the fuel pressure sensor. However, if a leak is found, the gasket between the sensor and fuel delivery pipe will be replaced and the sensor will be tightened. There will be no charge for the inspection and, if necessary, gasket replacement. source: chicagotribune
