Toyota is forced to another call, this time for a problem on the Lexus range, the Japanese luxury brand. The flaw is the cover panel of the carpet covering the floor of the RX series (300, 350 and 400h), which could move sideways after a previous disassembly and reassembly.
Within a recall involving 895,000 international units (800 thousand in the U.S. alone), some feedback is received from the U.S. market, however, without reports of incidents. In 5287 the specimens involved are Italy, built between 2003 and 2006, Toyota Motor Italy will back to shop some units to monitor and if necessary, replace the particular defect.
As reported by the Italian branch, "on some models, Lexus RX, where the clip used to attach the cover of the carpet covering the floor, placed near the center console, should not be tightened properly after removing any previous , the panel may move laterally and interfere with the movement of the accelerator pedal. " A very rare chance, the company hastens to add, which could occur "only where the clips had been previously removed and then repositioned in the wrong way. " However the planned intervention "consists in the verification and the eventual replacement of the clips, and subsequent replacement of the panel with another new design. The project will run free. " Customers will be seen by registered post.
