Toyota Motor North America has recalled 11,800 2018 Toyota Camry mid-size sedans and about 9,900 Lexus models for fueling system problems.
During assembly, the 2018 Camry sedans may have had fuel pipes and hoses in the engine compartment that weren't properly connected. This condition could lead to a fuel odor or fuel leak. A fuel leak near an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

Toyota dealers will inspect the fuel pipes and a fuel hoses and properly connect them at no cost. Notifications to owners will go out in March.
Affected Lexus vehicles include the 2015 to 2018 Lexus RC F, 2016 to 2018 Lexus GS F and 2018 Lexus LC 500 vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with two high-pressure fuel pumps that could be damaged over time and lead to a fuel leak.
Lexus dealers will replace both pumps at no cost. Owners will be notified in April.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
