Two of Lexus’ hot V8-powered performance models – the RC F coupe and larger GS F sedan – are being recalled due to a manufacturing defect that may cause them to lose power.
“The subject vehicles are equipped with a fuel pump which may stop operating,” the company says in its recall notice.
“If this were to occur, check engine and master warning indicators may illuminate on the combination meter, the engine may not start and/or the vehicle could stall.
“If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a collision.”

Lexus Australia advises the vehicles can continue to be driven, but if your vehicle shows any warning signs or symptoms you should stop driving and contact a Lexus dealer for assistance.
If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to schedule an appointment with an authorised Lexus dealer to have the low-pressure fuel pump replaced, free of charge.
The repair will take approximately two hours to complete, however, Lexus Australia advises you may need to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time depending on your dealer’s schedule.
If you have any further questions, Lexus Australia advises you to contact your preferred Lexus dealer. Alternatively, you can call the Lexus Customer Assistance Centre on 1800 023 009 on weekdays between 9:30am and 5:30pm AEST.
