So what's different about this one and the last recall for the fuel line? My 2005/06 IS250 SE-L had the fuel line changed out under a recall due to incorrect orientation of the seam weld giving a risk of cracking. See #3 of the attached http://www.theaa.com...Lexus&makeId=C4

There was another recall in the US to replace flexible lines due to the possibility of pin holes caused by the ethanol content of their fuel, but I don't think it made it to the UK, unless this is it, but from the article it appears to be the same problem as on the earlier models.
