The LS 430 owners that were involved in the transmission/fuel pump recall got $200 gas cards, I believe ^_^ It's a little surprising to see a value that slightly exceeds that of the LS recall on the IS lol. Good stuff though!!

I received mine in the mail last night!

I thought it was just a welcome letter and a calendar or something. I had no idea it was coming.... They did the recall service on 12/23 and I took delivery on 12/27.

Well done Lexus... What a great way to turn a 'bump in the road' into a positive.

The letter sent stating that you would be receiving the Nano came from my local dealerhship and not from Lexus Corporate. I received the letter earlier this week, about a week after I had the recall done, and then the iPod Nano showed up yesterday. The letter stated it would be several weeks before I was to receive the iPod, but generally it looks like people are getting them several days after they receive the letter.

Let's make one happen then. How about..."VSC fails to work properly when driver starts the car with the parking prake on....then foot brake twice....keep the foot brake down....then parking brake twice....keep it down....and repeat, resulting in possible danger to the passengers"?

Mr. Lex
When they recall your car, do you get a completely new car or do they just fix the problem part?

They fix the problem part.

BTW, I got my IPOD nano yesterday, had the recall work performed about a week and a half ago
