Recall 04V295000: Fuel Pump Replacement

DEFECT: On certain passenger vehicles, the impeller inside the fuel pump may have been improperly molded. Alcohol in some fuels may deform the impeller and cause it to come into contact with the pump housing. The fuel pump could seize, which may result in engine stalling, thereby increasing the possibility of a crash.


REMEDY: Dealers will replace the fuel pump. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners may contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
