Default Status on Recalls?

Anybody hear any additional info on the recalls?

had a deposit on a CPO but was offered it back due to the uncertainty of when they could sell me the car. II'm trying to hold off cause I really want an RCF and love lexus!! I got car fever so its been in my mind of trying out a CPO BMW M4 for a yr or two haha

Over 30,000 mile on my RC-F without any problems. Now I hear that they are not selling RC-F's because of this recent recall? Should we all bring our RC-F's back to our dealers to requests loaner cars until this fuel pump issue is resolved?

If a fuel pump goes bad for one of us owners, who's paying for the towing of the car back to the dealer, and other related costs, until this issue is fixed?
Seems Lexus will fix all new RC-F's on their lots first to insure the dollars keep coming in, then get around to putting the official word out to the rest of us later, since they already have our money!

Yeah it's kinda a screwed up deal if you ask me, but I guess it is what it is :/

I called Lexus Escondido last week, and they told me the letters will go out by April. They currently don't have the parts and pretty much told me I'm a sitting duck, with a f*&%ed fuel pump in my hand. Yay!!

Fuel pumps must be in inventory to resolve the high pressure fuel pump recall. Got a call this morning from my dealership. They stated there is a "campaign" for my Lexus RC-F. I asked does this "campaign" have something to do with the fuel pump recall? Yes, it was stated, this is about the fuel pumps recall, and we can come out to your house right now and and pick up your car..

Well... I did not like the idea of some "mechanic", or whoever, coming over to drive my car. Have visions of it being driven in Sports+ mode all he way, with tires smoking and squealing at every turn. Told them I would take it in about in a hour, and dealership said great, and we will have a loaner car ready for you.

Interesting... This dealership pulled their only 2018 RC-F off the showroom last week, and their only used one does not show up on their computer used car inventory list. Makes you wonder how serious is this fuel pump issue, or how serious does Lexus believe it is?

31K+ miles with 11K+ on the supercharger, no problems here. Recently got on the dyno and pushed a healthy 595 whp and 485 wtq. Probably going to get the recall done sometime at the end of April.

Good to know a fix is in. Any idea how long it takes? Should I expect a few days without my RCF?

Glad to hear you are enjoying the SC and it is holding up well . I just passed 20k and have to take RCF in for 20k maintenance service so works out perfectly to get the fix done then
