Nice! Hmm ever since I put new wheels on I haven't really heard it. Guess I'm not getting my free gas.

Does this only apply to F Sport?

Thanks for the TSB. I got my rotors switched out yesterday. But, no free tank of gas though...

Not all dealership will do it.

I guess not all dealerships are created equal. At least they didn't give me any hassles in changing out the rotors.

Very curios to know the differences between the two. Does anyone know if we can keep the old one? It would still be useful and functional.

Been noticing this more recently. It's on the growing list of little things to fix now.

What does this clicking noise sound like and how loud is it? Had my 4GS for almost 3 weeks old now and haven't noticed any weird sounds lately.

Turn off the radio, stop in a parking lot, roll your windows down and turn in a tight circle to the right. It will tick fast and it's a high pitch like a metal-on-metal tap. If you don't hear it, you're fine. There was an engineering change date encrypted in the TSB, so Lexus isolated the VIN range for this problem already.

I'm within the vin range but never hear it...maybe my music is always on loud. If anyone know off hand what the changes were, please enlighten us.

I just got my car back a few days ago for that tsb, got new pads (another tsb) and rotors. No full tank of gas, only on recalls...
