There are 100 USA-spec 2014 model year IS F’s produced between mid-September 2013 and late-July 2014 that are included in the recall.

Note that this is more than the number of cars listed sold by Lexus USA for 2014. This is likely due to additional USA-spec vehicles being sold by other distributors like Puerto Rico and Hawaii.

Gotcha, I should have been more clear. I was referring to the IS-F model in particular and that it didn't list/effect years 2008 - 2012...correct?

It also does not affect the 2013 model year.

Did they change the design or something for the 2014 model year or something?

I have a 2018 is 300 F Sport. Needed to go in for service and at the same time the dealer told me that driving the car at high speed could cause a stalling problem. They suggested to bring the car in for service and they would give me a loaner. That was three weeks ago. I noted the mileage when I dropped off the car and took pictures as well. Was told that they could not give me a Lexus as a loaner. Set me up with Enterprise and I was given a Hyundai Kona. A few days later was told they planned to sell the car and they would replace with another vehicle I am now driving a BMW 330i for the past few weeks.

I am a Snowbird and will headed back to NJ next month. Sounds like the fix for this problem will not happen till around May. I guess I will deal with this issue prior to returning home.

I would seize the opportunity and install an AEM drop in fuel pump instead.

Interesting that you said that because I was just looking at these. Do you think they would benefit on our vehicles stock or slightly modified vs ones that are full bolt-on and tune or even supercharged?

I have an 08 and I replaced my filter and pump (with an AEM one) at the same time. Will you gain power? No. But you’ll always have room to grow now you won’t ever worry about it getting clogged or dying out on you for a long time. The supercharger kit if I’m not mistaken includes a upgraded fuel pump.

For the people who would rather upgrade this AEM fuel pump can support to 1000hp (claims they make) ethanol friendly pump and drops right in with no modifications. Plus while your at it you can change your fuel filter as well.

Hell, I might as well change it out and the fuel filter. Mines an 10' and has about 153K miles on it. Just got my car back from doing routine maintenance done since the previous owner didn't replace a lot of the stuff like engine mounts, suspension components, etc. Plus, if the AEM pump saves me money vs the OEM and does the exact same thing, I'm down.

I changed mine at 130k miles and my fuel filter was nasty! I highly recommend it while in their. For anyone who wants to read more up on the fuel pump...

Do you know what the part number is for the fuel filter? I'm having trouble locating it.

I don’t remember the part number but have you tried calling a Lexus dealership and asking them? The fuel pump assembly has two of them but one of the is the filter paper that literally attaches to the bottom of the fuel pump.
