Bank one sensor one
i hope you guys with the 600h dont keep it for long...cause when bank one or bank 2 a/f sensors go bad it will cost about 2000 dollars to put that sucker in...gotta drop the engine.

Shouldn't that be covered under the extended warranty?
Even though I have the 460L & not the 600hL, I got mine extended to 6 years bumper to bumper for about C$2k.

So about the cost of a 30,000 mile service.

honestly, it IS the worst design i have ever seen to work on a car. hybrids are only a stepping stone, nothing more. and with a hybrid you have problems of a gas eng. and problems of an ele. car. its only a stepping stone.

All kidding aside, what were the circumstances that gave rise to this problem?
Are we talking about the O2 sensor?
Is this a Warranty Replacement?
What was the mileage on the vehicle?
Does Lexus think this is a one-off anomaly?
What is the expected life for this item (MTBF)?

Ouch, reminds me of the GS 450h thread we had a while back, also someone who drove his car through a flood, and the engine locked up. IIRC there wasn't a followup posted.

I don't know lux, the affected areas are not necessarily confined to Hybrids.
The Hybrid function is mainly situated within the transmission envelope, which in this case does not appear to be affected, except for the transfer case it seems; the engine locking up, holes in the block are also similar 460 areas. Avoiding puddles should be a given with aluminum blocks anyway, as unlike more stable cast iron designs, aluminum is more prone to thermal stress failures (i.e. going from hot to cold in a "splash").
So, even though a 460 hasn't experienced a similar misadventure, it is still prudent to "driver beware".
