Toyota Issues A Recall On Vehicles Equipped With The 3.5L V6

Toyota is recalling around 20,000 vehicles from the 2014 and 2015 model years equipped with the 2GR-FE engine. In layman's terms, that's the 3.5L V6 engine found in a number of Lexus and Toyota vehicles. According to the automaker, a supplier might not have welded "the end cap on the right-hand fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment." This could cause fuel to leak out, sparking a fire in the engine bay. The good news is that no reports of fires or accidents have been linked to this issue.

Models affected by this recall include:

• 2014 Toyota Avalon
• 2014 Toyota Camry 
• 2014 Toyota Highlander
• 2014 Toyota Sienna
• 2015 Lexus RX 350

Dealers will inspect the fuel delivery pipe, and replace the pipe if necessary.
