UPDATE: Toyota is now announcing specifically which models are covered under its fuel pipe recall in the US. The company is repairing about 423,000 Lexus models that include the 2007-2010 LS, 2006-2011 GS, 2006-2011 IS, 2010 IS C and 2008-2010 IS-F. The automaker says that it isn't aware of any fires, crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.

if this is like other recalls, it might be another month or two before repair parts start hitting dealerships.

interesting the 2006 GS showed up on the list for this recall. my previous 2006 GS300 already had a fuel pipe recall done back in 2007.

here we go again. When I had my slammed GS350 it had a recall , then I GOT MY LS460 and it also had the recall done. So annoying. At least they are doing something about it

I called Lexus of Clear Lake and they were aware of the recall but nothing as of now. He will let me know when its time to take care of this recall.

Default Recall here in Japan.

The recall has started in Japan.

I just got a letter from my Lexus dealership here in Japan about my ISF, and I have already made an appointment with them to fix the issues.

On top of that, they are also going to replace a few other parts free (Fans, belts etc), replacing all the fluids, giving me a full tank of gas, and they are detailing my car for free as a way of apologizing.

And of course they are loaning me out a free GS350 to drive around until everything is done.

Not sure how much extra service they give at dealerships in the USA, but here in Japan, when they make a mistake, they have to go that extra mile to save face.

RAR!

P.S. ignore the location in my profile, it wouldn't let me register to this site unless I put in a US zipcode / state :P
