Toyota Recalls Vehicles Due To Faulty Engine
Toyota once again announces the recall of 270,000 cars worldwide because of an engine fault.
Although no accidents had been reported, Toyota decided to recall because of problem with the valve spring in the engines, which could cause the car to stall while being driven.
A Toyota spokesman said the recall included seven luxury Lexus models and the popular Toyota Crown. The defective 4.6-litre V8 and 3.5-litre V6 engines had been installed in eight top-line models including some hybrids – the Lexus GS350, GS450h, GS460, IS350, LS460, LS600h and LS600hL as well as the Crown sedan.
In UK, there were some 3,200 Lexus vehicles involved but no Toyotas.
The company was previously fined $16m in the United States for its slow response to the accelerator fault and still facing more than 200 lawsuits tied to accelerator accidents.
