Lexus Recall – Toyota Lexus Recall

Lexus Recall – Toyota Lexus Recall. Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced that it will conduct a voluntary Safety Recall involving approximately 245,000 2006 through 2007 Lexus GS300/350, 2006 through early 2009 Lexus IS250, and 2006 through early 2008 Lexus IS350 vehicles sold in the U.S. to inspect the fuel pressure sensor installation.

Due to insufficient tightening of the fuel pressure sensor connected to certain engine fuel delivery pipes (those with Nickel Phosphorus plating), there is a possibility that the pressure sensor could loosen over time. If loosening occurs, fuel could leak past a gasket used in the connection between the sensor and the delivery pipe and through the threaded portion of the sensor.

Lexus dealers will inspect the vehicle for fuel leakage and if no leakage is found, will tighten the fuel pressure sensor with the proper torque. If a fuel leak is confirmed, the gasket between the sensor and the delivery pipe will be replaced and the sensor will be tightened with the proper torque. The inspection and possible gasket replacement will be conducted at no charge to the vehicle owner.

Owners of the involved vehicles will receive a safety recall notification by first class mail once the parts that may be needed have been obtained. Lexus will also post this information on its website. Detailed information about this recall is available through Lexus Customer Satisfaction at 1-800-25 LEXUS or 1-800-255-3987 or at www.lexus.com/recall.

Alfa Romeo Pandion Concept

Alfa Romeo Pandion ConceptAlfa Romeo Pandion Concept - Here is Alfa Romeo Pandion, a brand new study tagged Bertone, which is a part of the “Holy Trinity” of the concepts presented at Geneva with the occasion of Alfa’s centenary.

The three major Italian design houses, Pininfarina, Bertone and Giugiaro, pay a tribute to Alfa Romeo competing in concepts dedicated to brand that is turning 100.
