2004 Lexus LS 430 recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the impeller inside the fuel pump may have been improperly molded due to a manufacturing error. Alcohol in some fuels may deform the impeller and cause it to come into contact with the pump housing.
💥 The risk
This condition could increase the rotational resistance of the impeller and, in the worst case, may result in failure of the fuel pump.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel pump. Owners will be notified in july, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
