Lexus Hybrids Included in List of Vehicles Affected by Possible Engine Stalling, Possible Recall

The Lexus hybrids are included in the possible recall list by Toyota. The LS 600h, 600hl and the GS 450h are three of the eight models included in the list of vehicles affected by the engine stalling problem affecting Toyota cars worldwide.

Overall, 270,000 vehicles may be recalled as Toyota considers its options (Source: Reuters).

Other vehicles affected the Toyota Crown and Lexus LS 460, GS 460, GS 350, and IS 350.

The vehicles may have excessive noise coming from the engine as the 4.6-liter and 3.6-liter have an issue with the valve spring. That issue can cause engine failure or stalling.
