The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has alerted Nigerians to the recall of 14,799 Lexus vehicles by Toyota (China) Automobile, urging citizens to desist from selling or using the identified automobiles on Nigerian roads to avoid any mishap.
In a statement on Friday, Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC, Bisi Kazeem, says Lexus NX260, Lexus NX3650h, and Lexus NX400h+ manufactured between March 31, 2021, and April 26, 2022, have been recalled due to faulty programming of the Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) System.
According to the statement, the withdrawal is specifically premised on the fact that the vehicles will pose a safety hazard to their users thereby leading to crashes.
The statement added that the company is also recalling 6,491 Lexus NX260 with defective Electric Parking Brake (EPB) systems, which were manufactured between April 19, 2021, and July 15, 2022.
“The Acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu, is by this notice admonishing the general public, particularly dealers and drivers of these categories of vehicles, to desist from selling or using the identified vehicles on Nigerian roads to avoid any mishap,” the statement said.
