Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2007-2011 Lexus GS350 and GS450h, 2006-2013 Lexus IS350, and 2010-2014 Lexus IS350C vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with 3.5L V6 2GR-FSE gasoline engines. The recall affects approximately 114,998 vehicles.
The diaphragms in the fuel pulsation dampers may harden over time and develop cracks. This condition can cause a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel delivery pipe with a new pipe that has improved pulsation dampers, free of charge. The recall began on August 23, 2018. Owners may contact Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
