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 electronic stability control and eliminate braking assist, significantly raising the risk of a crash.
The 2019 model year also has a fuel pump recall where the pump can fail outright, causing the engine to stall while driving. The same stall risk from fuel pump failure extends to 2018 models as well, and a separate but related fuel pump campaign covers 2018-2020 vehicles under a broader remedy effort addressing the same underlying failure mode.
The 2018 model year carries an additional fuel system concern specific to the 5.0L V8 engine: a pulsation damper inside one of the two high-pressure fuel pumps can crack the pump cover, allowing fuel to leak near potential ignition sources and raising the risk of an engine compartment fire.
