Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2006-2011 Lexus vehicles, including LS, GS, and IS models. The recall covers approximately 422,509 vehicles manufactured between 2005 and 2010.

The defect involves anti-corrosion plating remnants that can cause fuel to leak from where the fuel pressure sensor is attached to the fuel delivery pipe. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will clean and reseal the fuel pressure sensor mounting area free of charge. The recall began on March 3, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
