The 2019 Lexus LC500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a brake booster pump that can fail, cutting braking assist and disabling the vehicle stability control system.
The brake failure leaves the driver with a significantly harder brake pedal and reduced stopping power, and without stability control the vehicle is more likely to skid in emergency maneuvers. On the fuel side, the low-pressure fuel pump inside the tank can fail and cause the engine to stall without warning while driving. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, which is why two separate campaigns exist for the same fuel pump defect. A stall at highway speed leaves the vehicle without power steering assist or engine braking, and if it occurs in traffic the risk of a rear-end collision rises considerably.
