I was just looking at the recent update on the air bag recall and noticed that it now has all years for the ISF listed. Anyone with the later model ISF's recently added receive any updates from Lexus at all? I'm assuming it's too early at this point but thought I would ask anyway.

More specifically, do any of my fellow Canadians have any additional information? I find Canada is always late in the game when it comes to recalls.

it depends on where the car has been, hot and humid places have priority

2012 here. I've been checking periodically and had no recalls listed until now.

This just showed up:
Title
Safety Recall GLG (Interim G2G) - Interim Notice Multiple Models and Model Years Front Passenger Airbag Inflator (Zone A)
Status
Remedy Not Available
Description
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by Takata. According to Takata, the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment.
Remedy
Lexus is currently preparing the remedy for this condition and will provide additional information as it becomes available. The remedy, when available, will consist of the replacement of the airbag inflator or the airbag assembly, depending on the vehicle model.
Recall Date
January 09, 2017
Dealer Reference ID
G2G
NHTSA Recall ID
17V006

Just checked on my 2014, nothing listed with the vin I have from NHTSA. There however might be an issue with the fact that the vehicle was in Michigan until a few months ago. I know the region the vehicle was in does play a part, but I'm not sure if there's anything consideration for vehicles that have moved.

i got a letter from lexus, i will upload it tonight or tomorrow for those wondering what's going on or trying to get more info on it, only thing that sucks is that there is no replacements available for at least a year or so.

I've been in a rental for 6 months now! It's costing Lexus over 1 grand a month sucks for them.

I just got off the phone with Treasure Coast Lexus here in South Florida. Tomorrow my 2008 ISF goes in to get the passenger airbag replaced. I've been in 4 rentals since July 25th 2016 and was supposed to be put in my 5th later today because they need the vehicle back for service. I'm told they're replacing them 2 at a time and I'm 1 of the first 2. I'm supposed to keep the rental until they're finished as this is the first time they're doing this recall so they don't know how long it'll take.While it's there I'm going to have them address the possible valley plate leak as I'm still losing coolant after the leaking water pump was replaced a while back. I know it's usually caused as a result of having the fuel pressure sensor leak recall done which mine has had.

Good thing I checked today!

Looks like my 2008 ISF is on the list for the airbag recalls. I guess I will do it when I come back from vacation
