Yes, my car is originally from California and i live in Vancouver BC Canada. I just registered online yesterday and used my US mailing address to register. I'm gonna check with local dealer first and might have to go across the border to get it replaced

I've owned my 07 IS350 since new, and yet to receive a notice for this, I receive all the other recall notices.

Just came back from the dealer, I have my recalls done wiper arm nut, fuel pressure sensor gasket, floor mats. They also performed dashboard inspection then service rep gave me a print out about dashboard warranty enhancement that says Lexus USA is in PHASE 1 which means reimbursement. I have to stay tuned for Phase 2 because they starting collecting parts for replacemnet and it may take several months. By the way the service rep mentioned that the most letters the Lexus USA is sending to warm state owners such as FL, CA, AZ, TX I am still waiting for my letter though...

P.S. I had a 2013 ES350 as a loaner for one day - this model kicks ***!!! Roomy, fast, smooth, quiet! My IS is pretty smooth and nice rider also but when I got back my IS 250 I felt like I am driving some old ****ty junk

Yeah, I got this loaner when I got other work done; the 2013 and newer ES drives a lot better than the older models.

I have the 250 as well... and the cam rattle. I think it is BS that they are only doing the 350.

So If you're skeptical about the stealership I'd say take your panels off, and dash, yourself. I think I'mm sart my system, finally, and will take it apart so all they have to do is put them on. OR ask if I can have the parts myself. I, too, do not want my rims curbed, or scratched, or anything else damaged.
I'll top you. I took my corvette with 4K miles on the ODO into the dealership for warranty work and they cracked the rocker panels. I checked them before leaving and they refused to accept responsibility. After a lot of haggling and refusing to accept my car they said they would repair it. They then gave me a loaner... a kia. I had to haggle up to a civic. Last year I took my vette back in to a different dealership for another warranty related item and specifically mentioned that the last time I brought it into a dealership they cracked my rocker panels. When I went to pick my car up THEY CRACKED MY PANELS AGAIN! Never again GM... never again.

mines always been in Houston. Tinted, garaged at home, car ported at work, windshield screen always used, and the dash and all 4 doors melt. Got my car approved before the official warranty enhancement but been waiting since nov for parts.

I'm a little confused. Sorry if this has already been noted, but could someone quickly outline the issue with the door panels and dash? I'm not exactly noticing any issues with my 07 IS350, but a free replacement for something that could go wrong is definitely of interest to me.

Basically they're melting. When I picked mine up, used, the dash was sticky. I thought it just needed cleaning. NOPE. I looked it up, here, and guys were having the same issue saying the same thing. So at least I wan't the only one with a nasty dash. The CO. will be replacing them. I don't know if the dash HAS to be defective? Which some are wondering.

Sticky melty dashboard in the most of the time especially in the direct sun, you touch it and your fingers stick to it cracks all over the dash from the bottom to the top, same with your door panels plus if you scratch it accidentally by your finger nail ex to open or close the door you see a black stuff under your nail and you have a pretty damn mark or scratch on your door panel - over the time you will collect a hundreds of them and they make your door panel looks like crap...
