What are the defects?
There is a possibility that the sealing performance of the fuel pressure sensor to the delivery pipe could degrade over time due to improper tightening the fuel pressure sensor.
What are the hazards?
If this occurs fuel could leak past the gasket and in the presence of an ignition source, this could increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
What should consumers do?
Owners of the involved vehicles will be notified by mail to their last known address. Lexus dealers will install a new fuel pressure sensor gasket and tighten the fuel pressure sensor to the correct torque.
