What's wrong?
The high pressure fuel pumps on the 2015-2018 Lexus Rc F, Gs F, and LC500 feed gasoline to the 5.0L V8 2UR-GSE engine under the pressure needed for direct injection. These vehicles use two high pressure pumps, and each pump cover has a pulsation damper that helps smooth pressure pulses as fuel moves through the pump.
Under specific operating conditions, the pulsation damper in one of the pumps becomes damaged. That damage puts stress on the fuel pump cover and leads to a fatigue crack. Once the cover cracks, the pump no longer stays sealed the way it was designed to, which creates a fuel-system safety concern.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a noise, warning light, or drivability change to appear before the pump cover is damaged.
