Toyota SAI

The Toyota Sai is a Hybrid Electric Car sharing the same platform and hybrid drivetrain as the Lexus HS USE. Toyota Sai was launched in Japan on October 20, 2009 and in the same year Lexus HS launched in January and after that Toyota received about 14,000 orders in one month after its introduction in 2009.

In 2010, Lexus (Toyota) recalled 17,801 2010 model year HS250h and Sai models for failing to comply with US FMVSS 301, Fuel System Integrity due to excessive fuel leakage in the event of a rear-end collision. A recall of these Sai and HS models for reprogramming the brake software in February 2010 also led some buyers to question the model, with word of the issue possibly scaring away potential buyers.

In early 2010 the popular Lexus sedans in the US, despite its success in Japan and in late 2011, Ward's AutoWorld reported that Lexus was discontinuing sales of the HS 250h in the US due to many complaints from customers.
