Toyota Recalls 1.6M Cars Globally For Fuel And Brake Line Issues – Consumerist

The Wall Street Journal reports that the latest million-plus vehicle recall from Toyota involves concerns about defects with the braking system and fuel components of affected vehicles.

Approximately 802,000 Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy models manufactured between June 2007 and June 2014 have been recalled to fix an issue in the master brake cylinder.

Officials with Toyota say the issue stems from a rubber seal ring that could leak brake fluid. If a leak occurs the vehicle’s braking ability could be compromised.

The second recall involves 759,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles – 423,000 of which are located in the United States – that may have faulty fuel delivery pipes. The fuel pipes in the vehicles could leak, raising the risk of fire.

Affected vehicles include the Toyota Crown, Crown Majesta and Mark X cars and Lexus IS, GS and LS sedans built from January 2005 to September 2010.
