To all current IS250 owners, models from August 2007 to February 2009, your Lexus may need certain corrective measures to the Fuel Pressure Sensor or its fuel system as according to Lexus Malaysia - UMW Toyota Motor. There are issues found with insufficient tightening of the said sensor, causing further looseness over time which may lead to a fuel leakage. The fuel may leak via a gasket in between the sensor and fuel line.

As part of Lexus Malaysia's proactive measure, they urge all owners to set an appointment with them to carry out necessary inspection and corrections to the issue if present.

Symptoms and corrections:
- If a fuel leak is found, replacement of the gasket and tightening of sensor.
- If no fuel leak is found, only further tightening of the fuel pressure sensor is needed.

fuel pressure sensor will be tighten 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.

Lexus Malaysia will not service recon units, not even for servicing
It is a known fact as the LEXUS brand is for a niche market. But most of the used or recons units sold are 2005 and 2006 models. There are probably a few 2007 luxury models currently in the dealers lot...so those that are thinking of buying a 2007 and above models better make a deal with the dealers to have the affected parts changed or get a better deal before buying.

Good suggestion eddy. If potential buyers dont get the warranty, then it is pretty pointless to buy a recon unit. Plus most car dealers do not provide warranties except for the more established ones.
