Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Lexus and Toyota Vehicles. Approximately 696,000 vehicles from model years 2018-2019 are involved in this recall. A complete list of the affected models can be found here.
The company reports that affected vehicles may be equipped with a faulty fuel pump which could stop operating and cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Consumers are warned that if this were to occur, warning lights and messages may appear on the instrument panel and the engine might “run rough.”
Toyota is currently investigating this issue and working to develop a fix, which will eventually be made available at no cost to vehicle owners. All known owners of the affected vehicles will be notified by first-class mail by mid-March.
