FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2015-2022 Lexus RC, 2016-2020 GS, and 2022 IS vehicles. The low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.
- What it can cause
- Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the fuel pump assembly, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed June 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26LB05 and 26LA05.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|

How this campaign compares
At 9,139 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Lexus vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 12 times before this, most recently in January 2025 as 25V028000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 14 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 10 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2023, 2 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on April 8, 2026 as campaign 26V222000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
