Lexus Recall and Warranty Question
I've searched, and couldn't find a definitive answer:
My car is a 2006 Lexus IS250 with 151,000+ miles on it. It is definitely not covered under any warranty at this point.
I logged in the Lexus Drivers website, and found that there are quite a bit of safety recalls and service campaigns for my specific vehicle (Safety recall DLA, BLA, ALG, 9LG, and product update DLB).
Would I have to pay out of pocket to fix any of these? Or will all of these be covered, as it is a safety recall? (Or is this dealer-discretion?)
Also, would I be able to get a loaner car for free while I wait for this to finish (if it takes a long time), or would I have to pay out of pocket for that? (Or is this dealer-discretion?)
For Reference:

For Reference:
- DLA - Wiper Arm Nut
- BLA - Fuel Pressure Sensor
- ALG - Brake Master Cylinder
- 9LG - Floor Mat Interference with Accelerator Pedal
- DLB - Internal Trunk Release Lever

OP said he logged into Lexus.com, which would mean he would have to enter his VIN. It would show only outstanding campaigns for his specific vehicle. Campaigns for cars not included in his VIN, and corrections that have already been performed, would not show; nor would TSIBs.

Yes, they are all covered for free. I'm actually taking my '06 in tomorrow to have 6 recalls done at one time. Just call and make sure you schedule a time when there is a loaner car available. They were happy to set me up with one since they're aware that some of these will take a while, and even over the weekend where I'll likely have the car 5 days or so. But if there's simply not a car available, their hands are tied.

I called and asked; they told me they'll have a loaner car ready and it will all be covered.
I will, however, still print the recall lists.
