20221117FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Lexus already has a recall for the fuel pump on the LS460 vehicles, but it only covers up to 2015. I have a 2017 Lexus LS that I believe has the same part number of the faulty fuel pumps that are included in the recall. If it has the same part number, it should be included in the current recall. The fuel pump was installed into my vehicle before the recall was announced, so it should be included.
