Well, looks like I've got one...though I've got no fuel odor currently.

Got the same for my car checking on Lexus's website. There isn't a fix available yet. I just gone to the dealer and got my oil change, now I have to go back :/ well, at least there will be free tank of gas.

Good to know, yeah it says my car was affected too. Good thing it's parked, hopefully a fix is released in the next couple weeks so I can take it in before winter.

Wow...

I brought my car in last year due to a fuel leak. Ended up being the fuel pressure sensor that had to be replaced. I had to pay for a new fuel pressure sensor and labor. Lexus should reimburse me for the repairs right?

I read on CL here in one case where Lexus did credit someone back for the charges having to do with a future recalled item. Cannot hurt to ask right?

Default fuel fumes smell

2 wks of having my '06 Lexus IS350, I smelled gas fumes coming from the top left side of the engine.. I'm guessing the recall is referring to this? Just checked my VIN on the link provided by the OP, it appears I have a pending recall. It worries me to know that my car can possibly get on fire.. Going to contact Lexus asap..
