According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a recall has been issued by Lexus for 214,500 2006-08 GS, IS, and LS cars.  Apparently, there has been corrosion within fuel pipes that has caused a leak.

Lexus discovered that specific ethanol fuels containing a low moisture content will make the pipes rust.  This can cause the indicator lamp on the dashboard to signal a malfunction, but this doesn’t occur in every case, which is why it’s necessary to have your car checked by a professional.  Lexus has notified car owners via email and will replace the parts that are affected at its dealerships, free of charge.

Unfortunately, you never know when your car parts will fail, which is why it’s so important to protect yourself with used car warranties.  After all, you don’t want to find yourself paying unnecessary repair costs.
