Lexus porosity in the engine castings may result in cracks than can allow coolant to leak internally and/or externally.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the engine and engine cooling. Here is what owners need to know.
Porosity in the engine castings may result in cracks than can allow coolant to leak internally and/or externally.
A coolant leak can cause the engine to overheat and cause a vehicle stall in conventional gasoline vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, for all involved vehicles, the engine may get damaged mechanically, possibly resulting in an engine oil leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the engine including the engine block, as necessary, free of charge.
