Some Lexus RX350 vehicles left the factory with a metal transport hook still attached that should have been removed before sale. If the vehicle is hit from behind, this hook can damage the fuel filler pipe. A damaged fuel pipe can leak fuel, which raises the risk of a fire. Dealers will inspect vehicles and remove the hook if it is still present, at no charge to the owner.
Toyota is recalling a large number of Toyota and Lexus vehicles from the 2017 through 2020 model years, including Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna and many Lexus models. The low-pressure fuel pump, which sits inside the fuel tank and sends gasoline to the engine, may fail. If it fails, the engine can stall while you are driving. This recall expands an earlier recall covering the same fuel pump problem.
On many Toyota and Lexus models, the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. If the pump fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven, which affects the driver's ability to keep control of the vehicle at that moment.
