Lexus/Toyota Engine Recall #2020039

Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5-L 4-cylinder engine, the engine block may be porous.

As a result, the engine block could crack and cause internal or external coolant leaks.

This could cause engine overheating or internal engine damage and result in an engine failure.

For non-hybrid vehicles, this could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving.

Note: This problem may lead to engine noise, smoke, cause warning lights to turn on and/or cause an audible chime to sound before an engine failure.

Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

Additionally, an engine failure could create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the engine block casting serial number.

If the serial number is within the identified range, the dealer will replace the engine with a new one.
