4 recalls across 3 model years
The Lexus LC500 has 4 recalls covering 2018-2020 model years, with the most serious being a brake booster pump failure on 2019 models that can deactivate the stability control system and eliminate braking assist, significantly raising the risk of a crash.
The 2019 model year also has two fuel pump recalls: a widespread low-pressure fuel pump defect that can cause the engine to stall while driving. A separate issue carrying over into 2020 involves the same type of fuel pump failure with the same stall risk, affecting 2018-2020 examples. The 2018 model year has an additional fuel system concern specific to the 5.0L V8 engine, where a pulsation damper inside one of the two high-pressure fuel pumps can crack the pump cover and allow fuel to leak, creating a fire risk in the presence of an ignition source.
