The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has cautioned Nigerians
against using some Toyota Lexus vehicles over “faulty programming”.
The agency said this on Friday in a statement by Bisi
Kazeem, FRSC’s public education officer.
The FRSC is issuing the warning following Toyota’s recall of
14,799 “defective” Lexus vehicles.
“The Federal Road Safety Corps wishes to draw the attention
of the motoring public, particularly those who are presently using Lexus NX260,
Lexus NX3650h and Lexus NX400h+ manufactured between 31 March 2021 to 26 April
2022, to a faulty programming of the Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) System, which
has prompted the Company to recall the categories of the listed vehicles,” the
statement reads.
The agency also said some Lexus NX260 vehicles with
“defective” electric parking brake (EPB) system have been recalled.
“According to the report contained in a memo forwarded by
the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the company is
also recalling 6,491 Lexus NX260 with defective Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
system which was manufactured between 19 April 2021 and 15 July 2022,” FRSC
said.
“The withdrawal is specifically premised on the fact that
the vehicles will pose safety hazards to their users thereby leading to
crashes.
“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.”
