Toyota and Lexus: new recall of 1.7 million cars

New recall for Toyota vehicles: the accelerator after the problems, solutions have less than a year ago, is now the turn of possible fuel leaks that could affect 1.2 million cars in Japan and 421,000 in countries such as USA, Canada and Germany. Meanwhile, the House ran for cover through this measure, after being contacted by dozens of customers (119 to be exact) that they had found the same phenomenon.

The recall covers 16 models in question produced between May 2000 and October 2008. Italy are involved in only 52 copies of the Lexus IS 250 sedan. Toyota's engineers - who have already started working to identify the precise cause of the problem - have found that the defects are mainly a pipe and a pump, which could result in loss of fuel.

The company insists, however, to stress that these are precautionary measures in place to help us provide better customer service. At the moment, in fact, there were no incidents directly related to the problem.
