Anyone else received a recall for their 3GS?

Just called and confirmed this is a new recall, and have booked my appointment for this to be serviced! You guys should call your local Lexus dealership and see if you are qualified for this recall!

I believe so... I had this similar recall done back in march also. But i dont mind either, free service, free parts, free car wash &vacuum, and a free full tank of gas; im in there haha . Also to add; a 2015 rental for the day or so.
ChiRaq - I believe it might be all 3gs... but dont quote me.. I would call your local dealer ship and ask about this recall and give them your VIN number.

Only if you're not a troublemaker. I'm on the corporate hit list for whining about my carbon buildup, and I did NOT get a free tank of gas for the fuel gasket recall. I did get a very good handwash, with no water spots, so maybe I shouldn't b*tch so much. But what fun would that be.

Quick question. What areas of the car do they need to gain access to ?....I'm wondering because it'll be impossible for them to go into my trunk, without taking apart my music/air setup lol
