2015 Lexus RC F recalls

Recall 18V-107: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Feb 14, 2018 · 9,905 vehicles affected · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

Problem: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Lexus GS F, 2018 LC500, and 2015-2018 Lexus RC F vehicles, equipped with 5.0L V8 2UR-GSE engines with two high pressure fuel pumps. Specific operating conditions may result in damage to the pulsation damper in one of the high pressure fuel pumps, possibly causing a fatigue crack in the fuel pump cover.

Risk: A cracked cover may leak fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.

Fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the high pressure fuel pumps, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 2, 2018. Owners may contact Lexus customer service 1-800-255-3987. Toyota's numbers for this recall are J2B and JLB.

Recent 2015 Lexus RC F complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Apr 19, 2023
Substantial Fire Hazard - Fuel was leaking directly onto the engine due to a failure in the fuel line and the factory coating between the inner steel tubing and a plastic coating. The failure relates to the delaminating of the coating from the base metal material which causes a channel for the fuels to bypass the seals and then leak out of fracture points in the plastic coating.
Unknown or Other · at 25,000 miles · reported Oct 17, 2020
Hvac servo motor malfunction. Front passenger side AC blowing outside temp. It does not blow cold air. Code b1455 present. It happened approximately at 25000 miles.
Service Brakes · at 65,842 miles · reported Jan 12, 2020
When I press on the brake hard and continually there is a noise (Thump). My husband has taken the car in where we bought the car 3x's and was told this is normal on the front brakes. I AM not happy with that answer. I just want to know is this normal for the car I bought. Is it safe. The car is beautiful and to drive around and hear a noice when pressing the brake is not acceptable on such a beautiful car. I have an audio of the sound I'm hearing while breaking. And a video of the mechanic at the dealership saying this was acceptable normal. I just bought this car 10-29-2019.
