I called CS today to check if my car was affected and gave them my VIN and they said it wasn't, but I was thinking maybe it was too early for them to even determine yet? Has anyone else called to check?

Yes, I called to check on my 08 IS350 and they said it was not part of the recall.

Crap...this means I have to take time off of work to get this fixed since Lexus in my neck of the woods doesn't service on weekends

I hope my 08 is clear of this.

Between all the TSIB's and now these "service campaigns", eventually, I'm going to have a brand new car.

Of all the cars I've owned, this one has had the most issues.

For real man??? These are trained techs who get to drive almost any car they want including the ISF. You think they really care about hot rodding your car?? They are probably more concerned with making money since they are on a flat rate pay.
