Toyota Recall 2020: This Recall Could Affect You And Nearly 700,000 Other Vehicle Owners

Following two December recalls for several hybrid, SUV, and car models over safety concerns, Toyota (TM) is recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles for a fuel pump problem.

The recall affects certain 2018 to 2019 Lexus LS 500, LC 500, RC 350, RC 300, GS 350, IS 300, ES 350, LX 570, GX 460, and RX 350 vehicles, as well as certain 2019 Lexus NX 300, RX 350L, and GS 300 models – all sold in the U.S.

The recall also includes certain 2018 to 2019 Toyota 4Runner, Camry, Highlander, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, and Tundra models, as well as certain 2019 Toyota Avalon and Corolla vehicles – all sold in the U.S.

According to Toyota, the issue involves a fuel pump that may stop operating, causing warning lights and messages to appear on the dash display. In addition, the engine may “run rough,” resulting in a stalled or inoperable vehicle.

If the vehicle stalls when driving at high speeds, it could increase the risk of a crash, the automaker said.

Toyota said it is evaluating a repair for the fuel pump issue and said it will notify affected vehicle owners by mid-March with a solution that will be offered at no cost.

Questions about the recall can be directed to the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331 or the Lexus Guest Experience Center at 1-800-255-3987.
