I just read through that IS-F thread too. Scary. Our cars are different though right? So we shouldnt have any problems? Is there a copy of the procedure showing what exactly they do? Anyone have any issues?

would love to know as well, before dropping my car off for the recall fix.

definitely starting to smell gas after a cold start or after not driving the car for a few days. usually gone, when I switch the to recirculate. would love to get it fixed, but can live with it if bringing it to the dealer will mean more problems.

Got mine done yesterday at Sewell, dropped it off first thing in the morning and got a call around 230 saying it was finished. They said it usually takes 4-5 hours.

Drove the CT hybrid but couldn't wait to get back into the is350.

Longo in Southern CA always give brand new loaner car. My loaner was a 2015 IS250 with premium/luxury package and navigation. It had only 200 miles at the time I drove it.

took my dealer 3.10 hours to complete the job. My service writer told me that it isnt even leaking on most all cars. But a free loaner and free tank of gas is all I need!

My Dealer did not refill the gas tank when done. I thought Lexus required them to fill up the tank and it is only took them less than 2 hrs to finished it mine.

I don't know if it's mandatory but I would assume that when working on the fuel system and changing a gasket you will leak some fuel. Mine took 5 hours to complete and they refilled my car.

If you're in NJ, which dealer did you go to? And any problems with the recall like the IS-F guys have had?
