Toyota Motor Sales Announces Safety Recall Campaign On Selected 2006 Lexus GS And IS 250/350 Models. The Lexus recall includes about 34,400 various Lexus models.
Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., will launch a Safety Recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The campaign involves approximately 34,400 2006 Lexus GS 300 (2WD and AWD), IS 250 (2WD and AWD) and IS 350 models. A possible crack may form over time in two specific fuel pipes in the engine compartment in the affected models. This condition only affects certain 2006 model year IS 250/350 and GS 300 vehicles.
The condition is due to high-stress areas that may have been created in two specific fuel pipes in the engine compartment during the manufacturing process. Combined with other factors such as the presence of corrosive agents in the fuel, a crack may form in the high-stress areas over time that could lead to fuel leakage. There has been one case reported with no related accidents.
TMS will notify owners of the involved vehicles with a Safety Recall notification via first class mail beginning in early December 2007. Newly designed fuel pipes will replace the affected fuel pipes at no charge to vehicle owners at any Lexus dealership.
Customers with questions or concerns should contact Lexus Customer Satisfaction at (800) 255-3987.

#1 WE OWN A LEXUS GX 470 same problem
Hi, we have the same problem over the past years, we have been on and off from the dealer having our check engine, and other lights ON all the time, they said it was loose the gasoline cap, but all the time!!!, I think this car also has the same condition.
#2 Lexus GS 300
I have all the bells and lights going off too. It was a problem in the vaccum system and the transmission. Make sure it is not your transmission before your warranty expires.
