Toyota and Lexus issue recall for nearly 700K vehicles than could stall while driving

Toyota and Lexus are recalling about 696,000 vehicles because of a fuel pump issue that could make the cars stall while driving.

The recall is for models years 2018 and 2019 and includes the following vehicles:

• 2018 and 2019 Toyota 4Runner, Highlander, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia SUVs; Toyota Camry sedans; Toyota Sienna minivans; and Toyota Tacoma and Tundra pickup trucks
• 2018 and 2019 Lexus ES 350, GS 350, IS 300, LS 500 and sedans; Lexus LC 500, RC 350, and RC 300 coupes; and Lexus GX 460, LX 570, and RX 350 SUVs
• 2019 Lexus NX 300 and RX 350 L SUVs and GS 300 sedans
• 2019 Toyota Avalon and Corolla sedans

Hybrid vehicles are not included in the recall.

Toyota said the fuel pump “may stop operating,” the automaker said in a statement. If that happens, warning lights and messages would be displayed on the instrument panel, and “the engine may run rough.”

Toyota is currently investigating this issue but doesn’t have a remedy yet. When they figure it out, owners can have the repair done for free.

All known owners of the affected vehicles will be notified by mail by mid-March.

Scotty Kilmer doesn't like the sound of this

 

Mine is affected according to Toyotas Website. It does run a little rough when at idle but I thought that was the Atkinson Cycle.

 

Mine started to run rough too went to the Dealer 3 weeks ago and they blamed the fuel injection system for it since then it got worse.

 

Damn how many times is this going to be posted??

 

daily...like most issues here

 

Don't mods shut down, delete, combine?

 

Obviously the fix is to install a new pump. But good grief what a campaign that will be. I hope they don't come up with some Micky Mouse solution like putting an additive in the gas.

 

lol, they'd need a FT mod just for that

 

MOM! IT'S ON EVERY CHANNEL!

 

Sorry my bad folks did not do a deep search.

 

Deep searching was done. Is hard.

 

LOL I know I know at least I admit to my screw ups.​

 

And we heart you for that fren

 

At least one more.
