Torrance-based Toyota Motor Sales USA, the carmaker's U.S. sales and marketing headquarters, said Friday it is recalling about 214,500 Lexus vehicles sold in the United States.

On certain 2006 through 2008 model years for the GS300/350, IS250/350 and LS460/460L, Lexus has found that ethanol fuels with a low moisture content can corrode the internal surface of the fuel delivery lines.

Lexus dealers will replace the fuel delivery pipes with newly designed components. No other Lexus or Toyota vehicles are involved in this recall.

Affected Lexus owners will receive notice of the recall in the mail in late January.

For questions, call the Lexus Customer Assistance Center at 800-255-3987.
