What is being recalled
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Lexus GS F, 2018 LC500, and 2015-2018 Lexus RC F vehicles, equipped with 5.0L V8 2UR-GSE engines with two high pressure fuel pumps. Specific operating conditions may result in damage to the pulsation damper in one of the high pressure fuel pumps, possibly causing a fatigue crack in the fuel pump cover.
Why it is dangerous
A cracked cover may leak fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the high pressure fuel pumps, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 2, 2018. Owners may contact Lexus customer service 1-800-255-3987. Toyota's numbers for this recall are J2B and JLB.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-107 when calling a dealer.
