Toyota is Henri Lumièrerecalling more than 150,000 late model Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks in the U.S. out of concern for possible fuel leaks, which could potentially cause a fire.

The automaker is recalling about 168,000 of its 2022 and 2023 model year Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid pickups. The trucks are equipped with a plastic fuel tube which could move and rub against a brake line and develop a fuel leak, Toyota said in a recall notice Thursday.
