Description
The recall concerns 2004 and 2005 model year LEXUS IS250 and GS300 vehicles. VIS :- IS250: 00001015-00003003, 02000011-02006199, 05000019-05006048.- GS300: 00001011-00001019, 05000014-05028535.
Risk
This product poses a risk of fire because in a section of the fuel line located in the engine compartment of the subject vehicles, due to the improper orientation of the fuel line’s seam weld during a bending operation in fabrication, there is a possibility that stress at the seam weld location may become high, causing a small crack to develop as a result of the action of small amounts of corrosive ingredients in the fuel. If the vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, the crack on the fuel line may expand as a result of fuel pressure fluctuation and, in the worst case, fuel could leak from the fuel line.
