Η Lexus ανακαλεί 5.000 νέα RX

Η Lexus ανακοίνωσε την ανάκληση 5.000 νέων RX 350 και RX 450h στα οποία ο αερόσακος των γονάτων του οδηγού ίσως να έχει κατασκευαστικά προβλήματα, κάτι που θα μπορούσε να επηρεάσει την σωστή ανάπτυξή του σε περίπτωση σύγκρουσης.

Η Lexus θα προχωρήσει στην δωρεάν αντικατάσταση των αερόσακων, οι οποίοι και δεν έχουν καμία σχέση με αυτούς της Takata.
