Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

USA - And the recalls keep coming, Lexus, Toyota and Suzuki.

With General Motors recalling nearly every car it has built in the last decade, or so it seems, it's easy to miss what other recalls are currently going on. Toyota announced a recall on both the 2013 Lexus GS 350 and the 2004-2011 Toyota Sienna, while Suzuki is recalling select 2004-2008 Forenza and 2005-2008 Reno models. 


Over 10,500 Lexus GS 350 models are affected by a recall for a potentially faulty brake pedal load sensing switch. This system, which allows the brake system to detect brake pedal force application, may activate without driver input and activate the rear brake lights, resulting in unexpected moderate deceleration and an increased risk of an accident. The Toyota Sienna, however, has been recalled for a spare tire carrier that may erode prematurely. 


Sienna models feature a foam water splash protector in front of the spare tyre carrier, and because of its varied placement, water splashed rearward with road salt can reach the carrier and corrode the carrier assembly cable. The cable may break, causing the spare tyre to detach from the vehicle. For the Suzuki Forenza and Reno, heat from within the headlamp switch or DRL module may become excessive and melt the parts. 

Located on the left side of the steering column, these parts could melt, which would greatly increase the risk of fire. Both Toyota Motor Corp. and Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. will notify owners about the above recalls.
