The NHTSA records provided show 11 recalls affecting the 2016 Lexus GS 350 covering fuel pump assemblies (8 entries), fuel tank, steering ECU, and a brake pedal load sensing switch.

How do I check if my 2016 Lexus GS 350 has an open recall?
You can check your VIN at NHTSA.gov or bring your vehicle to Nalley Lexus Smyrna and we will verify recalls for free. Use the free VIN lookup on NHTSA.gov or call Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987 for official confirmation; our service advisors can also confirm status when you schedule service. We recommend checking before long trips—if a fuel pump recall applies, the engine could stall while driving and your safety is the priority.
How much does a 2016 Lexus GS 350 recall repair cost?
Manufacturer recall repairs are performed free of charge to the owner; Nalley Lexus Smyrna provides these OEM recall repairs at no cost. If your vehicle requires the fuel pump or fuel tank assembly replacement or a VGRS software update, Lexus will cover parts and labor as part of the recall remedy. If you need related non-recall maintenance, ask about our current service specials or service financing options to handle non-covered work.
Can I get my 2016 Lexus GS 350 recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Recall repairs must be performed by an authorized dealer to ensure the manufacturer-specified remedy and warranty tracking; Nalley Lexus Smyrna is a certified Lexus franchise dealer that performs official recall work. Independent shops may perform some repairs, but recalls involve factory parts, special programming, and manufacturer reporting that only a franchise dealer is required to provide under the recall program. For your safety and to preserve warranty and resale value, schedule a visit with our factory-trained technicians to complete the free recall remedy—use our quick link to schedule service.
How long does a 2016 Lexus GS 350 recall repair take?
Repair times vary by the recall remedy but most fuel pump or fuel tank assembly replacements and software updates are completed in a few hours to a day; status is "Open — Schedule Service." At Nalley Lexus Smyrna we strive for fast turnaround using OEM parts and manufacturer diagnostic tools; when you schedule appointment we’ll give an estimated time based on the specific recall work needed. If parts are not yet available, Toyota or Lexus may have issued interim notices—our advisors will explain timing and notify you when the definitive remedy is ready.
Does an open recall affect my 2016 Lexus GS 350's trade-in or resale value?
Yes—unresolved recalls can reduce trade-in and resale value because many buyers and dealers check NHTSA recall status before purchasing. Getting recalls fixed at Nalley Lexus Smyrna protects your vehicle's value and makes transactions smoother; you can get a quick appraisal at our trade-in page after recall work is complete. Dealers and insurers may require proof of completed recall repairs; resolving recalls promptly safeguards resale value, insurance coverage, and compliance with safety inspections.
Can I fail a state inspection because of an unresolved 2016 Lexus GS 350 recall?
Yes—some recalls involve safety systems that can affect inspection outcomes and insurance claims; unresolved safety recalls may lead to failed inspections in some jurisdictions. The fuel pump and brake-related recalls listed in NHTSA records can affect drivability and lighting; we recommend scheduling service with our certified team to ensure your vehicle meets inspection standards.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The 2016 Lexus GS 350 has NHTSA-recorded recalls that affect critical systems and present real safety risks if left unaddressed. In the provided recall data, the most significant issue is the fuel pump and fuel tank-related defects that can cause the engine to stall while driving—this increases the risk of a crash and loss of vehicle control. There is also a steering ECU programming recall that can leave the steering wheel off-center after a restart, and a brake pedal load sensing switch recall that may cause unintended braking without brake light activation. Nalley Lexus Smyrna emphasizes prompt action because unresolved safety recalls can also affect insurance claims and accident liability. Our factory-trained technicians prioritize safety, use OEM parts and manufacturer diagnostics, and follow Lexus factory procedures so every corrective action is performed to specification.
