Tokyo ( CNN ) -- Toyota on Wednesday announced recalls involving more than 1.5 million vehicles worldwide for issues that could result in fuel leakage , the company said . One recall involves about 1.2 million units of 16 models -- including the Noah and other models -- within Japan and 140,000 Avensis and Tourer models overseas because of faulty fuel pipes that could cause fuel leakage , according to the company . A separate recall involves 245,000 2006 through 2007 Lexus GS300/350 vehicles , 2006 through early 2009 Lexus IS250 vehicles and 2006 through early 2008 Lexus IS350 vehicles sold in the United States to inspect the fuel pressure sensor installation , according to a company statement . `` Due to insufficient tightening of the fuel pressure sensor connected to certain engine fuel delivery pipes ... there is a possibility that the pressure sensor could loosen over time , '' the statement said . `` Lexus dealers will inspect the vehicle for fuel leakage and if no leakage is found , will tighten the fuel pressure sensor with the proper torque . If a fuel leak is confirmed , the gasket between the sensor and the delivery pipe will be replaced and the sensor will be tightened with the proper torque . '' The inspection and possible gasket replacement will be conducted at no charge to the vehicle owner , according to the company statement . Toyota said no accidents have been reported in relation to the recalls . CNN 's Junko Ogura contributed to this report .
