I don’t remember the part number but have you tried calling a Lexus dealership and asking them? The fuel pump assembly has two of them but one of the is the filter paper that literally attaches to the bottom of the fuel pump.
No, I can't right now as I am out of the country. I was suppose to head back state side but due to the whole COVID-19 craze, we are to stay put until further notice.
So; does MY14 use a different fuel pump P/N? I haven't had any issues with mine coming up on 5 years of ownership *knock on wood*.
No, none of the recalled pumps use a different part number. The design is the same for them, it seems there was a manufacturing defect that occurred and necessitates replacing the pump.
Did you happen to feel a difference as if the car is not working harder to pump the fuel? Before I went out of the country, my IS-F was making some strange sequential sound and you could hear in the rear somewhere. I was stationary and parked in my garage. I posted a video in the IS-F owners page on Facebook but no one had a clue to what that sound was. I'm wondering if it's the fuel pump, clogged filter, charcoal filter or something else? I'll upload the video real quick. Maybe you guys can help chime in on this. It's kind of hard to hear but when you do, you'll know that isn't normal but you mainly hear it loudly at the beginning of the video.
Hard to say. I do hear it though. I never had that sound with my oem fuel pump. When I upgraded my fuel pump I also changed my fuel pump filter and assembly since it has another filter built into it that you can not change.

So, you pretty much bought a whole new fuel pump assembly if I heard you correct? Based in the diagram, I thought all we needed to swap out was Items 20, 23 and the strainer/filter (whatever it's called that's not pictured) that attaches to the fuel pump itself?
The fuel pump assembly has a canister that can not be changed out unless you buy a whole new fuel pump assembly. That canister along with the mesh filter on the bottom are the only two filters the fuel pump has. My canister was pitch black when I removed it so I figured just buy a new fuel pump assembly and filter to install my AEM fuel pump.

Damn really? I just planning on buying the two filters and pump instead of the whole assembly. I thought you'd be able to swap out the main filter without having to buy the whole thing.
I believe that’s the canister but from what I remember (3 years ago) I first took everything apart and could not see how I could have removed it so I just went ahead and bought a new assembly. If you want to give it a try and see if you could find a way then give it a try and let me know for future reference.

I might persue that. I was on a Russian car forum where an owner posted pictures of him switching out the filter for his IS-F. Translation was harsh but he did destroy his old one to take a look inside the main filter. Here's the link and maybe it'll help. Decent pictures though.
