Lexus NX300, RX300

The risk

Insufficient press-in mounting of certain components of the high-pressure fuel pump could lead to increased pressure on the valves within the pump. This may cause the weld seams of the affected valve(s) to crack, which could lead to a fuel leak. In the presence of a source of ignition, a fuel leak could lead to an increased risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

Product: Passenger car equipped with a high-pressure fuel pump.
