hrmm... Just checked mine and noticed a little bit of the pink crystalized coolant that some of you had mentioned. Not a lot, from what I can see, but I'm sure its enough since my reservoir tank is low. Wonder how much this is going to cost me if I bring it into the dealer since its not under warranty. :/

Inquire with your local dealer, where you bought the car from, for good-will repair. Otherwise, a well-trusted indie shop can do the same job for much less than dealer.

Where are you in Norcal ih8ricerz? I went to serramonte, we should both go and make a stink a Lexus because i'm just out of warranty and they claim they will only cover the part but I'm not happy with this since this is clearly a defect.
I'm supposed to take mine in next week.

My coolant seems to disappear pretty fast. Everytime I get a 5k oil change, they top it off and by the next oil change, it's below the low line and I have to put coolant in before my scheduled oil change. I checked for leaks under the hood and I didn't see any leakage or pink residue. I only looked from the top. My mechanic never notified me of any leakage before. Is this normal for the ISF to use so much coolant? I use the Toyota pink coolant. Thanks.

It's a closed loop cooling system and it shouldn't need to top off coolant. See Supraman's picture in post #5, around the pulley and belt area.

I will get it checked out when I get my oil change soon. I'm crossing my fingers but it's probably gonna look bad under the car...

Idk about recall, but should be covered by lexus even outside of the warranty. Did you take it. The dealership? Lexus is usually pretty good about working something out with you. Mines an 08 and I noticed the coolant was a little low but there was no sign of a leak, so I topped it off and it's been staying full since.
