We won't blame you for reading this headline and thinking, "Oh great, another <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/toyota">Toyota</a> recall." After all, the Japanese automaker dominated headlines in 2010 by recalling every single model in its then-current product portfolio, including the massive sticky pedal and unintended acceleration recalls that took place in the first half of last year.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2006-lexus-gs/"><img alt="2006 Lexus GS" class="right border" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/01/01-2006-lexus-gs250opt.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; margin: 4px 0px; float: right;" /></a>Now, Toyota has issued a voluntary recall on about 245,000 <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/lexus">Lexus</a> sedans here in the United States and an additional 1.5 million vehicles around the world. Here in the U.S., the 2006-2007 Lexus <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/lexus+gs">GS 300</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/lexus+gs">GS 350</a>, 2006-2009 Lexus <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/is">IS 250</a> and 2006-2008 Lexus <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/is">IS 350</a> sedans are being recalled due to faulty installation of fuel pressure sensors. If this sensor has not been fastened tightly enough, fuel has the potential to leak between the gasket that connects it to the fuel delivery pipes. Including these North American vehicles, the fuel sensor recall affects 354,524 vehicles around the world, with <em>Automotive News</em> citing that the Toyota Crown and Mark X sedans are being recalled in the automaker's home market.<br />
<br />
Toyota's other global recall involves faulty fuel pipes and fuel check valves, though none of the 1.34 million vehicles affected by this one are in North America. In Japan, the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/rav4">RAV4</a> crossover, Voxy and Noah minivans are being recalled, as well as the Avensis sedan and wagon sold in Europe.<br />
