Known issues on the 2019 LS 500. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two of them cover the gasoline fuel system's fuel pump: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. The third covers the electronic stability control system, where the brake booster pump may fail, causing a deactivation of the Vehicle Stability Control system and a loss of braking assist, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 3 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins have been issued. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether the job is chasing a stall, checking the brake booster pump, or working a scheduled service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2019 LS 500.
