Default Transport Canada issues latest recalls

Among them includes:

2006-2007 Lexus GS 300
2006-2007 Lexus GS 350
2006-2007-2008 Lexus IS 250
2006-2007-2008 Lexus IS 350
2007-2008 Lexus LS 460
2007-2008 Lexus LS 460 L
Vehicles affected: 8,414

On certain vehicles, the use of selected ethanol fuels may cause the aluminum fuel rails to corrode. This could result in plugged fuel injectors, causing a rough engine idle and/or the illumination of the engine warning lamp. Corrosion may also cause a pinhole to develop on the fuel rail, resulting in fuel leakage. Dealers will replace the fuel rails.



It's interesting that the LSh isn't in there... unless it uses it different fuel rail than its siblings.

The LSh uses the 5.0 motor. I am suprised no GS460.

Not all the 08 LS460's are included either, depending on the VIN/build date.
