http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/01/lexus-logo-280.jpg (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/16/lexus-recalling-214-500-gs-is-and-ls-models/)Toyota is recalling around 214,500 2006-2008 GS300/350, IS250/350 and LS460/460L (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/09/in-the-autoblog-garage-lexus-ls460l/) sedans over potentially faulty fuel delivery pipes.
The Japanese automaker is working with NHTSA on the US recall, which centers around fuel pipes that can corrode, eventually resulting in a leak. The problem reportedly stems from certain ethanol fuels with low moisture content that can lead to rust, occasionally (but not always) triggering a dashboard indicator lamp indicating a system malfunction.
Affected GS, IS, and LS owners will be contacted about the recall via mail, and Lexus dealers will install replacement parts at no cost.
