Fitment comes first here: every clearance, torque value and diagnostic step in this 2019 Lexus RC 300 service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim, so a coupe running the 2.0L turbocharged four (8AR-FTS) is never handed a figure written for the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS), and neither one is handed a number carried over from an adjacent model year.
Engines
- 2.0L l4 GAS Turbocharged

Known issues on the 2019 RC 300. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, and both land on the same part of the gasoline fuel system: the fuel pump. In campaign 20V012000 and again in campaign 20V682000, the concern is identical - if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. No owner complaints have been filed with NHTSA for the year, while Lexus has issued 55 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems are here.
Whether you are tracing a stall back through fuel delivery or working a scheduled service interval on an F Sport, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2019 RC 300.
