Toyota Motors (NYSE:TM) claim the fuel lines installed in the Lexus (NYSE:TM) cars had inner lining of nickel phosphate plating. This plating was used to protect the fuel lines from corrosion. However, the company (NYSE:TM) believes that cars may contain linings with particles moving about the fuel line.

However, the company (NYSE:TM) has stated that till now, no incident has been reported and they are sure this extra safety check will prove that the company (NYSE:TM) does not compromise on its standards. The recall was initiated when the company (NYSE:TM) received a call in 2010 from a Lexus (NYSE:TM) customer claiming that he had been experiencing odors of gasoline coming from the engine room. The reports were given on Friday by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The team had to broaden their investigation and respond to these reports as early as possible.

On the other hand such safety measures might work in favor of Toyota (NYSE:TM) as being considerate for its customers.

802,000 models of Crown, Noah, Crown Majesta and Voxy models, manufactured from June 2007 to June 2012 are being recalled from China, Japan and other Asian markets. The plan is to replace its rubber seal in the brakes which is causing the crack and fluid leak.
