Lexus IS350, IS350C, GS350 and GS450h
On Wednesday, Toyota announced a recall of 115,000 Lexus cars in the United States. The manufacturer stated that the fuel injection system can harden and crack over time, causing fuel to leak and increasing the risk of a fire. The vehicles cover multiple models and years 2006-2014 and all are equipped with 3.5L V6 engines. Owners will be notified by Toyota in August and can have the fuel delivery pipe replaced at no cost. Visit Toyota’s website for more details on the specific models being recalled or enter your VIN at the NHTSA website.

Covering about 13,000 vehicles, BRP received reports from users of fuel spraying from the fuel tank when opening the gas cap. This poses a sever injury and fire hazard. Consumers should immediately stop using the vehicle and contact a Can-Am dealer immediately.
