Lexus Engine Recall

After reports yesterday that Toyota was preparing to recall almost 270,000 Lexus models for faulty engines, the Japanese automaker has since pulled the trigger and formally announced a recall. Or have they?

In a press release by Toyota, the company states that, “Lexus has discovered faulty valve springs in some V8 and V6 engines in certain Lexus models sold in the U.S. Due to slight variations during the manufacturing process, some foreign material may have contaminated the valve springs resulting in potential breakage.”
