Toyota PH Recalls Certain Lexus Models for Faulty Fuel Pumps

Lexus Engine
Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is recalling a number of Lexus models due to its faulty fuel pumps. According to TMP, the affected vehicles cover the following models it has officially sold in the local market:  
Brand Model Number of Units Production Period
Lexus GS F 4 July 14, 2015 until December 6, 2017
RC F 55 May 30, 2014 until December 8, 2017
LC500 29 October 11, 2016 until December 5, 2017
TMP described in its Special Service Campaignthat the issue involves one of the two high-pressure fuel pumps of the 5.0-liter 2UR-GSE V8 gasoline engine. In the Special Service Campaign, TMP claims that there there is a possibility that the pulsation damper in one of the fuel pumps could become damaged due to the resonance of the fuel pressure under specific driving conditions, which could lead to abnormal noise and vibration and, over time, can cause the pump cover to develop a fatigue crack. If the vehicle is operated continuously under these conditions, the crack could expand and may lead to a fuel leak which, "in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a vehicle fire." As a preventive measure, TMP will replace the fuel pump with a new one, free of charge, for its customers. TMP will contact the affected customers through Official Notification Letters and invite them to bring their vehicles to the lone Lexus dealership in the country located in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City for servicing.
