What fuel pump defect affects 2019-2020 Lexus RX models and what should a buyer check?
Certain 2019-2020 Lexus RX 350, RX 350L, and RX 450h vehicles have a Denso low-pressure fuel pump that can fail, causing rough running, no-start, or sudden engine stall while driving. This is covered by NHTSA Recall 20V012, so the remedy is a free fuel pump replacement at an authorized Lexus dealer. Buyers should check the VIN on the NHTSA or Lexus recall site and ensure the recall repair is completed before purchase. Out-of-pocket repair cost does not apply because the defect is corrected at no charge under recall.
