2006 LEXUS GS Recalls (6)

Campaign:
06V096000 on 04/02/2006
Component:
Air bags
Manufactured:
02/17/2005 - 12/21/2005
Affected:
133
Defect:
On certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. in this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the srs system is activated during a crash.
Consequence:
This may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the involved seating position in the event of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the specific srs air bag. the recall began on april 6, 2006. owners may contact toyota at 1-888-270-9371, scion at 1-866-548-1851, or lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

Defect:
On certain passenger vehicles, if the front seat belt retractors (both driver and front passenger) become locked, they may not release due to a component of the emergency locking system. if the seat belt is locked in this condition, the occupant may not be able to properly fasten the seat belt.
Consequence:
An occupant not properly wearing a seat belt may have an increased risk of injury during a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the front seat belt assemblies. the recall began on april 21, 2006. owners may contact lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

Manufactured:

Affected:

Defect:
On certain vehicles, high stress areas may have been created in two specific fuel pipes located in the engine compartment. combined with other factors such as the presence of corrosive agents in fuel, a crack may form over time leading to fuel leakage from the fuel line(s).
Consequence:
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the two involved fuel lines with newly designed lines free of charge. the recall began on december 15, 2007. owners may contact lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

Affected:
214,570
Defect:
Toyota is recalling 214,570 my 2006-2008 lexus is, my 2006-2007 gs and my 2007-2008 ls passenger vehicles equipped with aluminum fuel delivery pipes (fuel rails). ethanol fuels with a low moisture content will corrode the internal surface of the fuel rails. as this condition progresses, the engine malfunction indicator light may illuminate.
Consequence:
Over time, the corrosion may create a pinhole resulting in fuel leakage. fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel delivery pipes free of charge. the recall is expected to begin during february 2009. owners may contact toyota/lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

Campaign:
10V499000 on 10/20/2010
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder
Affected:
728,544
Defect:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2006 avalon, model year 2004-2006 highlander, model year 2004-2006 lexus rx, and model year 2006 lexus gs and is vehicles. brake fluid containing polymers is used that acts as lubricants for certain brake system components. if replacement brake fluid is used that does not contain such polymers, or that contains only small amounts, a part of the rubber seal located at the rear of the brake master cylinder may become dry, and the seal may curl during movement of the piston. if this occurs, a small amount of brake fluid could slowly leak from the seal into the brake booster.
Consequence:
A leak of brake fluid could lead to a change in brake pedal feel and overtime a degradation in braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the seal with a newly designed one. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on november 15, 2010. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331 and lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

11V029000 on 01/25/2011
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery
Manufactured:
01/05/2005 - 09/26/2007
Affected:
244,779
Defect:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 lexus is and model year 2006-2007 lexus gs vehicles. due to insufficient tightening of the fuel pressure sensor connected to an engine fuel delivery pipe with nickel phosphorus plating, there is a possibility that, over time, the pressure sensor could loosen. if loosening occurs, fuel could leak past a gasket used in the connection between the sensor and the pipe and through the threaded portion of the sensor.
Consequence:
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect for fuel leakage from the threaded portion of the fuel pressure sensor and if a fuel leak is not confirmed, dealers will further tighten the fuel pressure sensor with the proper torque. if a fuel leak is confirmed, the gasket between the sensor and the fuel deliver pipe will be replaced with a new one, and the sensor will be tightened with the proper torque. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on march 7, 2011. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
