Is 250 Re-Call For Fuel Pressure Sensor Check

[Mylextoo]

I have been informed by Lexus that there has been a delay in recalling vehicles for checking of the Fuel Pressure Sensor due to delayed parts from Japan because of the sunami. Apparently, vehicles are not being recalled if they do not have the parts in stock and are waiting for delivery. Therefore, it must be assumed that Lexus are not performing 'a check of the fps and modify it if necessary' but are replacing the 'O' ring as a matter of course. This is a preventative measure against fuel leaking should the fps becomes loose. They have advised the number of reported cases of this happening are very low and there have been no accidents reported.

I would have thought they would be able to locate another source for the 'O' ring, but I guess we just have to wait.

Only just had mine done by Lexus Cheltenham and it looks like they have replaced the whole unit not just the o rings? Excellent service from the dealer, they picked the car up and dropped it off after cleaning it.
