Lexus LS 430: Fuel System
Affects Lexus LS 430 · 2004 — about 176 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump impeller may be deformed by alcohol included in fuel, causing the impeller to contact the fuel pump body. This condition could increase the rotation resistance of the impeller and, in the worst case, the fuel pump may lock, which may result in the engine stalling. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel pump.
