Recall: R/2007/175
Launched: 15 April 2008
Issued by: LEXUS

What can go wrong

It has been identified that due to improper orientation of the fuel line's seam weld a section of fuel line within the engine bay could develop a crack that in the most serious case could permit fuel to leak.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the subject fuel lines replaced.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
