2020 Lexus CT200h recalled in Australia with fire risk

A fuel tank fault could lead to a vehicle fire, according to the recall notice.

Lexus has recalled two examples of its 2020 Lexus CT200h hatchback, citing a potential fire risk.

The affected vehicles are stamped Model Year 2020.

The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: “Due to a manufacturing issue the resin weld between the fuel tank and fuel tank inlet pipe could peel off. This may lead to a fuel leak when the tank is full or being refuelled. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may cause a vehicle fire.

“If this was to occur, vehicle occupants may identify a fuel odour when driving. A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders.”
