What's wrong?

The fuel pump assembly sits inside the fuel tank on affected 2017-2020 Lexus vehicles. Its job is to move gasoline from the tank toward the engine so the engine has a steady fuel supply during starting, idling, and driving. Inside the pump, an impeller spins to help move that fuel.

In these pumps, the impeller was made with lower density material and lower surface strength, or it was exposed to production solvent drying for longer than intended. That weakens the impeller's ability to keep its correct shape and movement inside the pump. If the impeller does not move fuel correctly, the fuel pump can fail and the engine loses the steady fuel supply it needs.

Owners can see warning lights and reduced motive power before the pump failure is complete. The vehicle can still be driven for certain distances after those signs appear, but they mean the fuel pump is no longer working as designed.

Who's affected?

The scope spans passenger cars, SUVs, minivans, pickups, and trucks across the 2017-2020 model years, all tied to the fuel pump assembly.

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

What's the safety risk?

A failing fuel pump can make the engine stall while driving, increasing crash risk. Warning lights and reduced motive power are warning signs, and the vehicle can still move for a limited distance. If either appears, pull over when safe and arrange service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Lexus dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2020 Lexus model is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for the Lexus owner notice or dealer confirmation before scheduling the repair.
  3. Contact a franchised Lexus dealer once parts are ready, and ask for the free fuel-pump assembly replacement that prevents an engine stall while driving.
  4. Reference recall number 20V682 when you call the dealer.
  5. Bring the recall notice if Lexus mailed one, or bring your VIN so the dealer can confirm the recall in its service system.
  6. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. If the engine runs rough, stalls, or will not restart, stop driving and contact the dealer.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Lexus technician replaces the low-pressure fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank with an improved pump assembly. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. The remedy record says some owners were told parts were ready starting January 21, 2021, and parts were expected for all affected vehicles by late March 2021. Toyota and Lexus also have a general reimbursement plan on file. If you already paid for a fuel-pump related repair before the recall notice, ask Lexus customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit documentation.
