To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

Oil cooler line, rubber elbow potential failure. No notice letter from lexus received warning of their tsb: pol.14.02 (nhtsa#: 10056509). Voluntary extended warranty coverage is expired now and no support from lexus offered. Rubber elbow cannot be simply replaced as the newly desigend replacement is a metal elbow. Entire assembly must be replaced. Extremely expensive. Unacceptable for a flaw to endanger the engine, and possibly to cause a fire with oil spray onto a hot engine/exhaust.

Oil cooler high pressure line, rubber elbow, pin hole oil leak/spray. Tsb: pol.14.02 (nhtsa: 10056509). Leaked oil out with check engine light/low oil pressure warning just as i arrived home. Line of oil in driveway. Diagnosed leak from this rubber elbow. One quart of oil left in oil pan. After review of nhtsa website (and many, many google hits) found this to be a well known problen by lexus. No recall ever issued. I never received written notice from lexus, and dealership that vehicle has been to many times never mentioned anything. Lexus denies any extended warranty at this time. Absolutely unacceptable.

The hybrid transmission failed at 146k and the light went on. When we took it to the dealership, they said that there was metal bits. The owner of the vehicle when into the dealership asking the dealership to set tire pressures and inspect floor mats for proper installation, they performed an inspection and inflated the tires. The owner went in and stated that the check hybrid system warning light is on. Oil pump range/performance. Note: no road test performed. Possible additional work needed. Transmission oil pump inoperable due to metal in fluid shorting the pump. The dealership took a fluid sample. They had found lots of metal particles present in the fluid. They recommend replacing the transmission, oil pump, cooler, cooler hoses, and clamps, flush the metal lines.

My oil cooler line busted and did not know till i got home thank god the engine did not seize. Come to find out the line is made of rubber and not metal. I understand lexus is aware but they are not calling for a recall. I th8nk they should pay for work performed

Roaring noise appeared in 2020 upon acceleration of the vehicle from the rear differential that became louder overtime which would not be mentioned in the multiple inspection reports even when pointed to the service representatives ;instead one of them verbally demanded $750 for the diagnostics and $5000 for the repairs!

My rx450h ' check hybrid system' light came on while driving 70 mph on i95. Once the light came on i no longer was able to give my car any gas or accelerate and slowly my car started decreasing it's speed. Attempting to pull over to the side of the highway all my lights on my dash board came on and the car shut down. After turning off my car and letting it sit for a few minutes i was able to turn the car on and drive to the next exit. After having my car towed to a mechanic i was told they were unable to find anything wrong with the car. I picked up my car and it drove perfectly fine for about 2 weeks. Than it happened again. After the mechanics looked at my car again they determined that my fuel pump is needing to be replaced. I have read many stories of others with my same situation. I am curious as to why my year/make/model are not on the recall list for fuel pump replacement. The pump being recalled is the same make and model that is in my car.

Bought a used 2010 lexus rx 450h 3.5l with 130,000 miles. At approximately 132,000 miles while driving on the highway, oil cooler line suddenly exploded without warning and vehicle lost all of its oil, full synthetic, within seconds. Oil splattered all over entire underbody. Vehicle completely un-drivable and had to be towed. No pre warning from oil light or any other indication other than loud bang and smell of burning oil. Huge safety risk and likelihood of complete engine loss or seizing if i had continued to drive any longer, possibly leading to an accident or worse. Immediately pulled over at smell of hot oil and had it towed to repair shop. Estimated cost about $ 1,000. Repair shop stated this is a known issue with toyota oil line cooler hose and lexus models of this year and should have been a recall item. Recommended replacement hose is now metal.
