(Reuters) – Toyota is recalling 105,794 vehicles in the US ​over a potential fuel ‌leak that could raise the risk of fire if ​it reaches an ignition ​source, the National Highway Traffic ⁠Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on ​Wednesday.

Here are some details:

  • The recall ​involves certain 2024-2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid vehicles, the auto ​safety regulator said
  • The recall ​is over issues with the fuel ‌tube ⁠connection near the fuel tank, which could disconnect and leak fuel, and increase ​the risk ​of ⁠a fire, the regulator said
  • As part of ​the remedy, dealers ​will ⁠install a supplemental clamp or replace the resin fuel ⁠tube ​free of charge, ​NHTSA said
