Default 3IS Fsport heated seats.. Question on everyone's mind

2014 fsport heated seats are just like warm on max.
This is the biggest concern for us fsport owners. We aren't sure if it's a item for recall or if it's meant to only be warm..

Other lexus models seats actually get hot. But this one even on a 4 hr drive on Max, it's doesn't heat up past like warm.

Please advise

Janterry15, thank you for letting us know of your F Sport concerns. I have looked into this for you and we have determined that there was a change in design of the air flow in the seat for these models. In previous models the warm air was dispersed differently and on a wider scale, the current seats have a lower flow area on the seat surface. It is the way it was designed so there would not be any repairs necessary for this concern at this time.

Several people have this issue. Will there be a fix in the near future? My heated seats do not work at all and my Lexus dealership said there is nothing they can do about it.

Here is a link to several having issues with the 2014 Lexus IS F-Sport heated seats:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be reviewing all of the concerns of our customers. We apologize that we would not have an immediate fix, as it does take time for our engineers to review the complaints and see what can be changed in future designs.
