Yep. They'll give you a loaner, make the repair, fill your tank with gas and off you'll go.

No? The first words out of Lexus mouth when I called was: "We'll fill up your tank when we're done".

Some are doing that, others not.

Make sure your tank is empty and you're more likely to get a full tank when you pick it up.

Is this fuel TSB applicable to 2012?
Do you know the basics of the work involved?

If you are referring to the Fuel Pressure Sensor Gasket recall, the affected LS cars were in the 2007-2010 range. The 2012 LS460s were not included in the recall. There are no safety recalls for the 2012 LS460s.

Still waiting for mine in B.C.

This is what I get from Lexus Canada Website when I enter my VIN:

"No recalls found

Our records indicate that there are currently no service recalls or customer satisfaction campaigns applicable to your Lexus vehicle.

Please note there may be a delay between the announcement and/or implementation of a safety recall or customer satisfaction campaign and this site being updated. Please return to this page periodically and resubmit a VIN look up."

I received my notification a few months ago, but never reacted. When I called to schedule an oil change the SM at Herrin-Gear Lexus asked if I wanted to get it taken care of and I just said yes.
Was told its about a 3 hr task.

Just got off the phone with Lexus Canada Corporate In Toronto. They advised me that there was no recall on my vehicle, despite the fact that I received the initial letter last year. They stated that for whatever reason, my car was not included even though U.S. vehicles are.

Lexus of Memphis filled my tank after recall. I had around 1/4 tank when I dropped it off.
