Default 07 gs350 smoking white when i step on it?

I kno there was a recall for 06 models but does anyone kno about the 07 models for that same issue? I just stepped on it and my friend was in the car behind me and told me it smoked. ive also noticed it smoke just randomly sometimes.. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do??

Thanks in advance

Black smoke...carbon build up ......White smoke can be two things...burning oil or the fuel/air mixture is way too lean. Have you installed aftermarket parts? new plugs?

Check your coolant level as well. Though unlikely, a head gasket leak/burning antifreeze causes white smoke as well.

^^^ agreed check your coolant. White smoke usually means headgasket
