“The contact owns a 2020 Lexus RX350. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH and ascending a slight grade, the vehicle began to shake. The contact stated that she stopped depressing the accelerator pedal and the shaking stopped. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received a letter from the manufacturer regarding a fuel seepage failure from the high/low pressure fuel pump. The contact stated that the letter informed the contact that the manufacturer would replace the fuel pump due to a failure within the next 10 years. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and found that there was a recall for the fuel pump under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V682000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included.

“I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM LEXUS SOMETIME LAST YEAR, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN. THERE IS NO DATE ON ANY OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SENT TO ME, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS SOMETIME LAST SUMMER. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR, YET, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE A "SAFETY" RECALL NOTICE SHOULD TAKE MONTHS AND MONTHS TO BE FIXED. WHEN I GOT THE NOTICE, I CALLED MY LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHEN I COULD EXPECT MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD GET THE PART AND WOULD LET ME KNOW. I HAVE NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. THIS RECALL IS FOR A LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. TO CONFIRM, SO FAR NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. NHTSA NO. 20V-682 I AM PUTTING TODAY'S DATE IN THE AREA OF "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN".”
