MORE than 2000 Lexus vehicles will be recalled in Australia as part of a major global recall of Toyotas due to a fault that could cause them to stop mid-journey.
The Japanese auto giant recalled 370,000 vehicles worldwide on Thursday, around 170,000 of them because bolts pinning a valve control system inside the engine could become lose.
In Australia the recall is for two models, with about 2500 vehicles affected.
They are Lexus IS350s built between April 2010 and July 2011 and Lexus RX400Hs built between June 2006 and December 2008.
About 1750 RX400Hs are affected with the possibility of its hybrid system overheating while driving, resulting in damage that may cause the vehicle to stop, a Toyota spokeswoman said.
She said the fault typically occurred when towing or driving with a heavy load.
The spokeswoman also urged owners to avoid rapid acceleration.
About 750 Lexus IS350's are involved in the recall due to bolts that may loosen resulting in an engine rattle.
The spokeswoman said in a worst case scenario the vehicles may stall while driving.
No accidents or injuries have been reported as a result of either issue.
Affected owners will be contacted in coming weeks and repairs will be completed free of charge.
