Toyota to recall 1,880 Lexus vehicles in China

BEIJING: Toyota Motor China will recall 1,880 imported Lexus vehicles in China from next month due to fuel leakage risks.

The recall involves Lexus models manufactured between July 3, 2007 and July 12, 2010, according to a statement from the China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Defects in the engine oil pipeline of the recalled cars may cause fuel leakages, the statement said.

The car-maker offers to replace the pipeline gasket to eliminate the safety risks, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
