Question Safety Recall Notice

Hi, did you guys get a Safety Recall (Interim) Notice in the mail from Lexus? Got it in the mail just today Sat April 11 2020. I recently flipped registration from CA to FL which I THINK MIGHT have triggered the letter. Posted only one of around three pages - See Attached. This has something to do with the "low pressure fuel pump" malfunctioning, possibly causing rough engine running, resulting in a stalled vehicle, and unable to re-start, which btw DOES NOT sound great. Anyone experience this issue?

When I put my 2015 350 VIN into the Lexus Canada recall thing I get a notice saying that the fuel pump campaign is associated with my vin.

i have not received a paper letter from Lexus tho yet....is my vehicle affected in terms of the fuel pump has to be replaced?

this is what the website says.

I believe the recall is to replace the fuel pump...it's not an inspect and replace if necessary.
The 2014-2015 IS250 is not on the list last I checked, so I haven't gotten anything in regards to the recall.
I can't imagine the 250 pumps are different, but if they are so be it.

Dunno, hence this thread, but not many IS350 owners are posting. I recently flipped registration from CA to FL which I THINK triggered the letter. Haven't as yet used the Recall VIN tool - does it say the fix is "Free of Charge" like the letter in the OP?

NickCeasar - I received my notice in the mail from Lexus Canada but mine is for an RC (not the IS) but still, they are getting the paper notices out. Mine was a preliminary notice and wanted to confirm my information on file was accurate too.

I clicked the “see attached” thing on the recall notice on the Lexus Canada website, but it’s downloading in a format I can’t open. Gonna call Lexus tomorrow, haven’t had lights or anything but I have noticed lately my idle is rough as hell, like I can sometimes feel my whole seat going side to side at idle. I know the engine is harsh as hell and known to sound like a diesel at idle but I’m noticing more lately it’s getting worse. Or my ocd could just be working overdrive.

My IS350 checks out on the vin site and I got a letter. Yes, they are affected. With so many cars affected, I'm sure they'll have new pumps ready in a couple years
