2018 Lexus LC 500 Service and Repair Manual

Fitment for this manual begins and ends with the 2018 Lexus LC 500: the 5.0L V8 (2UR-GSE) Lexus built the car around, the trim it was sold in, and the specifications and torque values published against that exact combination rather than figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2018 LC 500. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all three land on the fuel system. Two of them cover the fuel pump itself: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. The third covers cars built with the 5.0L V8 2UR-GSE engine and two high pressure fuel pumps, where specific operating conditions may result in damage to the pulsation damper in one of those pumps, possibly causing a fatigue crack in the fuel pump cover; a cracked cover may leak fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 5 complaints for the year. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind the fuel delivery system are here.

Whether you are chasing a stall, testing fuel pressure on the 2UR-GSE, or working through a scheduled service item, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2018 LC 500.
