Lexus, Toyota’s luxury division, has announced another major problem found with its vehicles just days after halting sales of one of its other models.
The luxury automaker announced on Friday that it will be cooperating with NHTSA regarding a potential fire risk found on the 2010 Lexus HS 250h, and now Lexus has announced that it has identified an engine stalling problem that is present on 270,000 vehicles already sold worldwide in an Associated Press report. The issue affects seven models, and according to Toyota, could cause the vehicles to stall while driving.
Lexus has not yet officially identified all of the vehicles being considered for the recall, but did say that approximately 90,000 of them were located in Japan, with the other 180,000 vehicles sold overseas.
A report by Japan’s Nikkei and Kyodo News agencies suggested that “tens of thousands” of Lexus LS460 models would be included in a possible recall, and a Wall Street Journal report cited a Toyota spokeswoman as stating that the Lexus LS, GS and IS models would be included.
