On certain passenger vehicles, the impeller inside the fuel pump may have been improperly molded due to a manufacturing error. Alcohol in some fuels may deform the impeller and cause it to come into contact with the pump housing.

This condition could increase the rotational resistance of the impeller and, in the worst case, may result in failure of the fuel pump.

Dealers will replace the fuel pump. Owners will be notified in July 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

On certain vehicles when the accelerator is operated quickly, a small piece of metal may separate from a retaining collar located in the inner part of the automatic transmission. This small piece of metal may become caught in the parking lock mechanism.

This may cause the parking lock system to be inoperative when the transmission shift lever is placed in the park position, thereby increasing the risk of vehicle roll-away, which could result in a crash.

Dealers will replace the transmission. Owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners should contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
