Default Safety Recall 26LA05 (Interim Notice 26LB05)

FYI: Thought the issue was old news, but I just received yesterday evening via the Lexus app...

OverviewSafety Recall 26LA05 (Interim Notice 26LB05) - Multiple Model and Model Years - Vehicle May Stall During Driving at Higher Speed
Dealer ID • 26LB05
NHTSA ID • AWAITING#

Description

The subject vehicles are equipped with a fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, check engine and other warnings may illuminate on the instrument panel, the engine may not start and/or the vehicle could stall. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Remedy Status: Remedy Not Available
Lexus is currently preparing the remedy. When the remedy becomes available, any authorized Lexus dealer will replace the low pressure fuel pump with an improved one FREE OF CHARGE.

This will be my 2nd Lexus in a row that gets a new fuel pump.

The last time the car smelled like gas for a week 😢

I just looked at my Lexus App and nothing is showing there, and of course not on the NHTSB website. Mine is a 2024 so I wonder if that matters?

Thanks for the update. I'm not having that "chirp" noise at the moment but it's disappointing news.

I needed a new throttle body at 14k miles. I guess it'll be going in soon for a fuel pump whenever they become available.

Glad I didn't have the bumper sag/separation or that exhaust gasket leak thing earlier models had.

Both of my 2016 GS-F's are covered under this new one. (VIN 0309 and VIN 1455)


EDIT>> I have seen quite a few 2020 GS-F with early low pressure fuel pump replacements - likely post-covid built.

Mine shows up, also a 2022.

Personally, this is fantastic news to me, as someone who's out of warranty. 23,000 miles and no issues but good to know Lexus will cover it if it happens. Unless the dealership forces me at a regular service, I probably won't bother getting the fix until I see actual warning lights/other symptoms. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

glad this is here. mine went out unexpectedly at 30k miles last July. Luckily it was low speed, bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway.

I have a '23 and nothing shows up in the app or checking the Lexus site. From the other comments, looks like '22s are listed, anyone else newer than that get an alert?

The recall shows up for my car in the app as well. Mine is a 2022 Launch Edition. The Overview section says "Safety Recall RM3 (XM3) - Interim Notice - Certain 2016-2022 Model Year GS F, 2022 Model Year IS 500 and 2015-2022 Model Year RC F - Vehicle May Stall During Driving at Higher Speed"

Looks like cars newer than 2022 aren't affected?

"Newer than 2022 aren't affected" - I expect "for now", unless there is a part number change, I dont see how they would make argument its not impacted. We have Jeff the part expert who can probably confirm if any difference in pump #s for different years.
