Lexus PH recalls select GS-F, RC-F units over faulty fuel pump

MANILA:  Lexus Philippines is recalling select GS-F and RC-F units over defective fuel pumps.

In an advisory issued by the Department of Trade and Industry, a total of 63 examples are the subject of the brand’s special service campaign.  

Here are the specific models being recalled based on the latest order.

Model	Number of affected units	Production period
GS-F	4	November 4, 2015-January 22, 2016
RC-F	59	September 24, 2014-October 13, 2020

According to the agency, the vehicles’ low pressure fuel pump may become inoperative because the impeller material swells. This swelling causes warning indicators to light up, engine no-start conditions, or even vehicle stalling, which, in turn, could increase the risk of a crash.

In line with this, Toyota Motor Philippines will replace the low-pressure fuel pump for free.
