Default F-sport Recall
I just got a call from my dealer letting me know that my 2013 GS-350 F-sport AWD has been recalled. Anyone hear about this or know about the specifics?

Yep that's it. I just got off the phone with the tech that said just that.. If it is not pulled in the right direction it could break off so there is a fix out. They said they would fill the tank with gas as well. Sounds good.

Free tank? Darn Lexus of Sacramento didn't give me squat, they didn't even read my work order. I'mnot going there again.

What is the TSB on the rear brakes? Is it for the AWD F-sport?

Last May, there was a recall on the F-Sport for an issue with the steering wheel not properly centering.

Can you help me understand why this would be the case?
