Fitment comes first here: the 2018 Lexus RC 350 service and repair manual is tied to this model year and its trims, so the specifications, torque values and diagnostic trees you work from are the ones Lexus published for the 2018 car rather than close-enough figures carried over from an adjacent year.
Trims
- Base
- F Sport
Known issues on the 2018 RC 350. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the gasoline fuel system on the delivery side, specifically the fuel pump: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota's campaign spanned a long list of 2018-2019 Toyota and Lexus vehicles, with the RC 350 among them. No owner complaints have been filed for the year, and Lexus has issued 59 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that fuel delivery system are here.
Whether you are tracing a stall back to fuel delivery or working through a scheduled service on a Base or an F Sport, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2018 RC 350.
