Lexus today announced a recall campaign for 3,238 vehicles that have the potential to be affected by a rare engine issue. This has been confirmed with Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA).

In the valve operating system in some Lexus engines there is a possibility that the strength of the valve spring may degrade, causing the spring to break. In the rare event that one of the springs in the engine breaks, the engine will misfire and the engine warning light will illuminate. The driver may also notice abnormal noise or rough engine performance. There have been no reported accidents related to this issue.

The recall will affect certain vehicles from the Lexus GS 450h, GS 460, LS 460 and LS 600h model ranges. No other Lexus models or any Toyota vehicles sold in the UK are affected.

Lexus advises customers who have concerns to contact their local Lexus Centre for assistance.
