BEIJING - Toyota Motor China Investment Co, Ltd will recall 1,880 imported Lexus vehicles in China due to fuel leakage risks, starting from Nov 14.

The recall involves Lexus models manufactured between July 3, 2007 and July 12, 2010, according to a statement from the China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Defects in the engine oil pipeline of the recalled cars may cause fuel leakages, the statement said. The carmaker offers to replace the pipeline gasket to eliminate the safety risks.
