Toyota recalls 14,799 defective Lexus vehicle models
By Business A.M.
Japanese automaker Toyota has recalled some categories of its vehicles, including Lexus NX260, Lexus NX3650h and Lexus NX400h+ manufactured between 31 March 2021 and 26 April 2022, due to a faulty programming of the lane keeping assist (LKA) system.
The company is also recalling 6,491 Lexus NX260 with defective electric parking brake (EPB) system manufactured between 19 April 2021 and 15 July 2022.
The withdrawal is specifically premised on the fact that the vehicles will pose safety hazard to their users, thereby leading to crashes.
Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has therefore called on the motoring public, particularly those who using the listed vehicle categories, to take note.
In a statement made available to Business A.M., Bisi Kazeem, assistant corps marshal and corps public education officer of the FRSC headquarters in Abuja, said the acting corps marshal, Dauda Ali Biu, admonished the general public, particularly dealers and drivers of these categories of vehicles, to desist from selling or using the identified vehicles on Nigerian roads to avoid any mishap.
