Toyota recalls Lexus vehicles in China

BEIJING - China's leading quality watchdog said Toyota will recall 2,021 Lexus vehicles exported to the Chinese mainland, starting on Wednesday.

Toyota Motor China Investment Co., Ltd. will conduct the recall, involving Lexus RX400h models. The vehicles were produced between April 3, 2006 and Dec 1, 2008, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement.

The recall is due to design flaws with the models' hybrid power system that could result in a blown fuse in the power supply circuit and cause driving failure, the statement said.
