Buying a used 2018 Lexus ES350? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 5 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Lexus ES350 has 2 recalls in this group, both describing fuel-pump failure that can stall the engine. Documentation should establish the status of each listed campaign for the vehicle's VIN. NHTSA records 5 unverified owner complaints, including reports involving 1 crash and 1 injury. Listed complaint areas are vehicle speed control at 2, unknown or other issues at 2, structure at 1, and service brakes at 1. Those categories should not be added together as unique complaints.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Obtain VIN-specific completion records for both fuel-pump recall campaigns.
3. Ask about stalling, starting difficulties, and fuel-pump replacement history.
4. Request details and repair records for speed-control or braking complaints.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Lexus dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
