Lexus RC, GS and IS fuel pump may quit

NHTSA campaign 26V222000 · Reported 2026-04-08 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious: an engine that stalls without warning can leave you stranded in traffic and raise the risk of a crash, though the notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

The low-pressure fuel pump that sits inside the fuel tank can stop working. That pump pushes gasoline to the engine, so if it fails the engine can sputter and stall, possibly while you are driving. Toyota has already mailed letters warning owners about the safety risk, and the full repair is still being prepared. Dealers will replace the entire fuel pump assembly at no cost, and a second letter will go out once the remedy is available.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to check whether your Lexus is included. 2. Contact your Lexus dealer or Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331, recall numbers 26LB05 and 26LA05, and ask to be notified when parts arrive. 3. The fuel pump replacement is free.
