Toyotal recalls continue...
Toyota is recalling 17,000 model year 2010 Lexus HS sedans because of a problem with its fuel tank. This new recall has prompted the company to once again suspend the sales of such vehicles.
The defect was noticed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under a crash test. The NHTSA has found that the fuel tanks in the vehicles leak when struck from behind at 50 miles per hour. (DailyMarkets)
Not surprisingly, Toyota has claimed they have been unable to reproduce the reuslts in their own crash testing....which was what they said with the other problems they have faced. Remember Toyota had to recall
Toyota’s recall crisis evolved when it suspended sales of 8 models for recalling 2.3 million vehicles to correct sticking accelerator pedals on many of its models in late January this year.
Following that,Toyota recalled, in April, 10,000 Lexus GS and LS SUVs and another 8,300 Lexus sedans last month. Further the US fined Toyota $16.4 million. Of course, that was merely a slap on the wrist to the company that makes much more than that.
