In this article (5)
Toyota Vietnam has issued a recall for 634 Lexus cars in Vietnam due to potential issues with their cameras and fuel injectors.
Most of the recalled vehicles were produced between November 2022 and August 2023, according to Vietnam Register.
The cover of the front and rear cameras of these units can be exposed after time, allowing water to enter and causing internal short circuit that can disable them.
Among the recalled vehicles are 26 units that have fuel injectors which can be distorted over time, increasing risks of explosion.
While no incidents have been reported so far, the manufacturer is recalling these vehicles as a precautionary measure.
Owners of the affected vehicles are entitled to a free replacement of these parts at Lexus dealerships in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The recall service will be available for three years, starting from Aug. 13.
