The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has warned Nigerians over buying some brands of the Lexus automobiles, saying they have defective engines and are prone to accidents.
The FRSC quoted a 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.
According to the report, “the withdrawal is specifically premised on the fact that the vehicles will pose safety hazard to their users thereby leading to crashes”.
FRSC while issuing the alert said 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”.
