Lexus, Toyota, and Jeep are recalling roughly 240,000 cars for engine issues that could prove extremely serious, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) . This comes amid a slew of other recalls, including a very recent one for Toyota’s rear-view cameras.

Why Are the Lexus and Toyota Vehicles Being Recalled?
Lexus and Toyota are recalling 126,691 cars for the possibility of an issue where “debris of a particular size and amount may not have been cleared from the engine during manufacturing,” according to the NHTSA. This can screw up the entire engine assembly and ultimately lead to engine issues, like stalling and full loss of power.
Why Are the Jeeps Being Recalled?
The 112,859 recalled Jeep hybrid vehicles are having a similar issue, though rather than referring to it as debris, the NHTSA has called it “sand.” For this recall, they warn that the engine “may be contaminated with sand from the casting process.”
What Should I Do if My Car Is Affected?
Toyota, Jeep, and Lexus will soon inform owners via mail or email about next steps. If you own one of these cars, you can contact your local dealership for more information.
All repairs will be made free of charge.
