3 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Before a new vehicle is shipped, a metal hook is attached underneath so it can be tied down during transport. On these SUVs, that hook was never taken off before the vehicle was sold. If someone rear-ends the vehicle, the leftover hook can be driven into the fuel filler pipe — the tube that runs from the gas cap down to the tank. Damaging that pipe can let gasoline escape, and spilled fuel can catch fire.
The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes gasoline to the engine. On these vehicles that pump can fail. If it does, the engine can stall — shut off — while you are driving, including in traffic or at highway speed. The recall covers a long list of Toyota and Lexus cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. Your dealer will replace the fuel pump assembly with an improved version, free of charge.
The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes gas to the engine. On these Toyota and Lexus vehicles, that pump can fail. If it fails, the engine can stall, meaning it shuts off while you are driving. A stall in traffic leaves you without power and can lead to a crash. This recall started in January 2020 and Toyota expanded it twice in March 2020, adding some model years and removing others, so the covered list changed. A dealer replaces the pump at no charge.
Complaints owners have filed with NHTSA about the Lexus RX350. These are unverified reports; better-selling years collect more.
