Certain 2019 and 2020 Lexus LC 500 coupes with affected Denso low-pressure fuel pumps can experience a deformed impeller that stops the pump from working. Symptoms include intermittent hesitation, sudden engine stall while driving, and failure to restart, which increases crash risk and can strand the driver. This is a safety recall (NHTSA 20V012), and the required fuel pump replacement is free of charge through the recall campaign.
