Following the global recall issued by Toyota Motor Corporation, which affects 1.7 million vehicles, Lexus Malaysia has announced a Special Service Campaign for a certain number of its IS 250 sedans.
In a statement, it said a total of 78 units of the IS 250 are involved in this SSC, and that the company is taking proactive measures to contact all the owners of the relevant vehicles.
The campaign is to address an insufficient tightening of the fuel pressure sensor which has been found on some IS 250 models produced from August 2007 to February 2009. There is a possibility that the pressure sensor could become loose, over time, and if this occurs, fuel may leak via a gasket that is used between the sensor and the delivery pipe connection.
Lexus Malaysia will inspect the vehicle for fuel leakage and if no leakage is found, the fuel pressure sensor will be tightened with the proper torque. If a fuel leak is confirmed, the gasket between the sensor and the delivery pipe will be replaced and the sensor will also be tightened with the proper torque.
No other Lexus or Toyota models sold by UMW Toyota Motor in Malaysia are involved in this campaign, the company said.
Lesson here is….don’t purchase from Grey importers in case a recall happens :-)
(and it’s bound to happen !)
this is not the 1st time Toyota do this kind of “Special Service Campaign” in Malaysia….
Vios and Avanza owner should knew it, as most of them should at least received letter from UMW invitation for “Special Service Campaign”
Malaysia lack of strong body/org to propose Gov to govern auto makes with Law…
MAA just know how to count TIV…
Miros just birth…
Auto makes can easily scot-free by giving excuses easily, putting owner life at risk, rakyat at risk…
to make it worse, most rakyat only own Milo-tin which is only can get 2/3star(EuroNCAP)…
Sigh…. pathethic! they only know how to feed cronies perpetually….
infact… gov should push for all round airbags on all vehicles cbu, ckd & especially our milo tin protons & perodua for fronts airbags & curtain airbags as compulsary…
ie… honda insight with 6 airbags and is 5star ncap… but m’sia honda insight just front airbags but claim 5-star!!! i wouldn’t blame car manufacturer… but gov!!!
special service konon. No balls to admit its a recall.
Still acceptable coz they brave make announcement.. do you know BMW F10 got some big problem until today they can not solve it but they warning owner do not to posting in web or any else in other word keep your mouth shut-up… can refer BMWClubmalaysia.com or Facebook BMW Malaysia…. what you want to call on action like this?
The perfection that is not perfect. That’s why nobody perfect.
Proton is nobody in world auto business, so Proton is perfect. LOL
special service campaign…what a nice way to put it for RECALL…
This is just like:
“Price readjustment” used to replace “price rise”
” Media Distribution Executive” sounds much nicer then “newspaper boy”
“Public Health Executive” is actually a toilet cleaner!
why is it called a special service campaign like they are doing it as a courtesy and not their responsibility?
it is their problem for making a car with a defect which can cause a car to burst in to flames if it happens. come on lexus malaysia, shame on you.
hell i thought that they were giving out freebies for the inconvenience caused, turned out to be their special service is to fix a problem which was their problem to begin with.
tsk tsk tsk..
Agreed. Car manufacturers are getting away scot-free with a lot of nonsense in this country.
ha ha ha toyota do not mislead people with special arrangement etc…. just use recall exercise
This show that Toyota Lexus is a responsible company.
not bad ah.
recall they rename as “special service campaign”
wait…..why RAV4s didnt kena this special “Service Campaign”? I thought they are CBU from Japan
trying to fool Malaysian by using the special service campaign term instead of recall. Haiyaa…No need to recall also can because Malaysian too obsessed on T badge cars..If the car get burn they will blame the Ron95, not the car maker.
Nice comment… i like… more worse if their Toyota get burn, they will blame Proton and government as well.
good one azrai.
CNY free service campaign?
Anyway… i am not going to touch another Toyota/Lexus car anymore
Chances to get stolen is high.
Chances to be defective is proven.
