Lexus Throttle Body Extended Warranty
I've tried to use the search, but come up empty. A few months back I saw a post here that contained a link to a very comprehensive recall/extended warranty program from Lexus on the entire throttle body assembly, for multiple years, and nearly all models. I think it was in response to one of my posts, but I can't search for my posts back more than 7 days (seems like I used to be able to see ALL of my posts). I remember commenting back then that I finally found my '99 LS on page 144, or something like that. I even tried copying the text to my favorites folder, because I really wanted to find all that info again, but now it can't be opened.
Does anyone remember anything about that, or know how I can search my older posts back further than a week?
Whoops, I guess I found the magic button that lets me go back further. Still would like to know if anyone else knows about this program.

Toyota customer support program. I had mine replaced two weeks ago with no problem. Just bring it the dealer.
Since the Court has finally approved the settlement, for Class Members who still possess their Subject Vehicles, Toyota is implementing a Customer Support Program that will stand by the reliability of the vehicles by providing provide prospective coverage for repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship in certain parts associated with the vehicle’s operation at no cost to the owner or lessee if any of those parts fail, break, or malfunction. The Customer Support Program will last for ten (10) years after the expiration of any existing warranty for each of the covered parts, subject to a maximum limit of 150,000 miles, except that each eligible vehicle will receive no less than three (3) years of coverage from the date of final settlement approval (regardless of when the underlying warranty expires and your vehicle’s mileage), if the Court finally approves the settlement. The covered parts are the: (i) engine control module; (ii) cruise control switch; (iii) accelerator pedal assembly; (iv) stop lamp switch; and (v) throttle body assembly. The Customer Support Program is transferable with the Subject Vehicle. Inoperable vehicles and vehicles with a salvaged, rebuilt or flood-damaged title are not eligible for the Customer Support Program.
If you are a Class Member who is eligible for the Customer Support Program, you need not take any action in order to be eligible to participate in the Customer Support Program. If a covered part fails, breaks, or malfunctions due to a defect in materials or workmanship from the date of final approval through the end of the Customer Service Program, you should take your vehicle to a Toyota/Lexus/Scion authorized dealer for repair or adjustment under the Customer Support Program.

That's it
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million. I'm surprised that there is so little reference to that settlement and it's apparent benefits in this forum; is there some reason why no one seems to be mentioning it?

But There's More!
The way I read it, ANYONE with a covered vehicle is guaranteed at least 3 years of additional coverage from the date the settlement was approved (which was quite recently), despite the cars mileage. And the coverage applies to a lot more than just the TB; like the ECU!
