Lexus is recalling 422,509 2006-2011 LS460, GS300, Is 250, and other LS, GS, and IS vehicles because anti-corrosion plating remnants can let fuel leak where the fuel pressure sensor attaches to the fuel delivery pipe. A fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of fire, and Lexus dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?

The affected 2006-2011 Lexus GS, IS, and LS vehicles use a fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment to carry gasoline under pressure to the engine. A fuel pressure sensor attaches to that pipe, and a gasket seals the joint so fuel stays inside the system while the engine is running.

On these vehicles, the pipe was made with Nickel Phosphate plating to protect it from corrosion. Plating particles were left on the gasket seating surface where the fuel pressure sensor is installed. That rough surface lets the gasket lose its seal, so fuel can leak past the sensor connection during vehicle operation.

The concern is fuel in the engine compartment, near heat and ignition sources. If leaking fuel reaches an ignition source, the risk of a vehicle fire increases. There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a dashboard light or a change in how the vehicle drives to identify this defect.

Who's affected?

Spans several Lexus sedan, coupe, and hybrid nameplates across the 2006-2011 model years, all tied to the fuel system.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.

What's the safety risk?

A fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Treat fuel odor or visible fuel as a reason to stop using the vehicle and contact a Lexus dealer for instructions before the next trip. Repair is free at any franchised Lexus dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2011 Lexus LS460, Is F, LS460L, Is 350, Is 250, GS460, Gs Hybrid, GS300, Gs 350, Is 350C, LS600H, LS600HL, or Is 250C is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Lexus dealer to schedule the free fuel-pressure-sensor mounting-area cleaning and reseal that fixes the fuel leak at the fuel delivery pipe.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Lexus sent one. If not, reference recall number 14V647 when you call.
  4. Avoid unnecessary driving until the repair is complete, because a fuel leak near an ignition source increases the fire risk.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Lexus technician repairs the gasket seating surface on the fuel delivery pipe where the fuel pressure sensor is installed. The technician replaces the gasket, reinstalls the fuel pressure sensor, and tightens it to the proper torque. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid to fix this fuel leak condition before the recall notice, Lexus's standard reimbursement plan gives you a way to seek repayment. Bring the prior repair invoice or other paperwork to the service desk.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 14V647?

Recall 14V647 covers 422,509 2006-2011 Lexus LS, GS, and IS vehicles with fuel pressure sensor sealing that can allow fuel to leak at the fuel delivery pipe. A fuel leak near an ignition source increases fire risk. Lexus dealers clean and reseal the sensor mounting area for free.

What should I do if my 2006-2011 Lexus LS460, Is F, LS460L, Is 350, Is 250, GS460, Gs Hybrid, GS300, Gs 350, Is 350C, LS600H, LS600HL, or Is 250C is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 14V647. If it is, contact a franchised Lexus dealer to schedule the fuel pressure sensor mounting area repair. Reference recall number 14V647 when you call. The dealer repair is free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Lexus dealers clean and reseal the fuel pressure sensor mounting area free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for vehicles included in recall 14V647.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is fire. Anti-corrosion plating remnants can keep the fuel pressure sensor from sealing correctly, allowing fuel to leak from the fuel delivery pipe. If leaked fuel reaches an ignition source, fire risk increases. Confirm your VIN and schedule the free Lexus dealer repair.

What if I bought my Lexus used?

The free repair still applies. Recalls follow the vehicle, not the first owner. If a prior owner received the March 3, 2015 recall notice or no notice reached you, check your VIN to confirm whether your Lexus is included, then call a franchised Lexus dealer.
