I have not. I'll wait and see if I get a letter and have them inspect it then. I'm not really concerned since we rarely get snow and if we do, I don't drive in it.
I mainly posted it for the folks in the salt belt regions to be on the lookout, or for those who've purchased a used car.

I live in Canada, BC. I assume Lexus Canada knows about this too? Do I wait for a letter or do I go to a dealership and mention this thread to them?

I just entered my vin and the information came up. I don't know how they determine which vehicles are affected. I wouldn't really be surprised if the dealership didn't have info yet.
