Glad I am not the only one. My car wouldnt start one time and dealer knew nothing about it saying there has to be a code when only check vsc comes up. Mine is an early build too so I wouldnt doubt it either. Just got my brake, aux, and rearview mirror tsibs done so the dealer will hate me haha.

I'm bringing my car in next Monday for repairs and TSBs, would it be too early to have them replace the fuel pipes now? Considering no one have receive any mails about the recall yet?

Recall Alert: 34,000 2006 Lexus GS, IS Sedan (merged threads)
The bad news just keeps mounting for Toyota. First, it was the downrating of the brand by Consumer Reports. Now it is yet another recall.
Toyota is recalling 264,000 vehicles, including Lexus models, due to defective fuel pipes. The vehicles were manufactured in Japan, but sold elsewhere. The Lexus models include the GS300, IS250 and IS350. Reportedly, though there have been 39 cases of problems caused by the defect, none has resulted in an injury.
The recall adds to Toyota’s increasingly dismal product quality record, one that led to the company recalling more cars in the United States last year than it sold here. Though the company claims that it has renewed its commitment to quality, the series of quality problems bedeviling the company in the last two years are leading many observers to the conclusion that Toyota’s quest to become the world’s largest auto manufacturer has overtaken its commitment to product reliability.
