I just the letter from Lexus. It came with the $1500 voucher towards a new car and it said that the $500 gift card would follow. I wish this would have come sooner as I just ordered a bunch of parts from Sewell.

I bought my car brand new back in 2006, and do not have any extended warranties, etc.

Is the letter different than the red recall notice? I have to read it over, but so far I think all I have is a red and white recall notice

It's a pre-paid Visa, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Were you over 70,000 miles when you went in for the recall work?

it makes sense but I'm wondering what if I'm purchasing something more than $500. I'm planning on buying from Sewell website since they don't return my calls.

The world's No. 1 carmaker said there were no accidents or injuries connected to the latest recall, which covers some Lexus and Toyota models from the 2004 to 2006 model years, mostly in the U.S. and Japan.


Honda had the same recall too since they both buy from the same supplier much like almost every automotive company. This thread is for the valve spring recall when a misaligned machine scared some valve springs.
