(Reuters) -
Toyota Motor Corp (
7203.T)
will recall 422,509 of its luxury brand Lexus vehicles in the United States
because of a possible fuel leak that increases the risk of fire, U.S. regulators
said on Friday.
The recall covers
Lexus LS from model years 2007 to 2010,
Lexus GS from 2006
to 2011 and
Lexus IS from 2006 to 2011.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said fuel might leak where
the fuel pressure sensor is attached to the fuel delivery pipe. If a spark
occurs, fire could start.
Toyota told the NHTSA that it was not aware of any fires or injuries caused
by this condition.
Beginning next month,
Toyota is to notify owners of various versions of the
three models affected and tell them to bring their vehicles into dealerships for
repair.
