NHTSA recall 21V043000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: The transport hook may not have been removed prior to sale. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 301, "fuel system integrity."
Why it matters: During a rear-end crash, the transport hook can damage the fuel filler pipe, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Lexus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, remove the rear transport hook, free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021.
