The 2019 Lexus IS 300 has 2 recalls, both addressing the same fuel pump defect that can cause the engine to stall without warning while driving, raising the risk of a crash.
The fuel pump can fail and cut power to the engine while the vehicle is in motion, leaving the driver without acceleration and potentially without power-assisted braking or steering. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why a second recall campaign followed the first.
