Toyota issues recall for 2018 Camry over fire hazard

Toyota announced that it is conducting separate safety recalls in the U.S. of approximately 11,800 Model Year 2018 Toyota Camry vehicles and approximately 9,900 Model Year 2015 - 2018 Lexus RC F, Model Year 2016 – 2018 Lexus GS F and Model Year 2018 Lexus LC 500 vehicles.

Camry has been in the market for less than an year and is getting its first major recall, that too for a fire risk;
During the assembly process, there is the possibility that the fuel pipes and the fuel hoses in the engine compartment were not properly connected.
This condition could lead to a fuel odor or fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

Customers can access current information on open safety recalls by entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at: www.toyota.com/recall or nhtsa.gov/recalls.
