Lobusracer,
Thanks for keeping us informed. My RC-F arrives late this week and I am hoping that the wing fix will be known and published for my service cente to implement before I take delivery. Glad you have access to the TSBs and report them.

My wing was stuck for a month (had no time to take it to the dealer) and suddenly it got back to life by itself so far it's been a week and it goes up and down just like it used to be before not so sure what happened but it's all good now

The motor over torqued. The part replacement should be available within the next week or so.

Still no service bulletin, tech tip, or service campaign in TIS.

I hear what you are saying, but a guy I know that works at my dealership told me they know about and have the fix for it.

My new ECU for the spoiler motor just arrived. The part is available.

I was able to keep mine raised. You just go in the settings and activate the rear wing, manually put it up, then go back to the settings and turn it off. Should stay up. That's how I've been Rollin for 2 months.

Happened to mine as well. The dealer just disassembled the wing and put it back together and it worked. No one has any idea why or what happened. ( this happened to mine quite awhile ago, before any service bulletin)

Thanks, I contacted the dealer and they said they'll check with Lexus tech and give me a call back. The wing somehow fixed itself the very next day though...

I'm surprised mine hasn't got stuck yet (even though i only have 400 miles on it) but i constantly look in the mirror & as soon as it goes down i put it back up manually! I just think it looks Better UP!

Does anyone know if this issue is specific to cars below a certain VIN or is everyone of them a candidate for having this issue?

I kind of like the way it looks when it is up so even though mine got stuck in the up position, I was in no hurry to fix it. I finally went in for my 5000mi service the other day and they reset it so it is working again now.

Someone posted something about deploying it to the up position and then going into the config menu and turning the active wing function off to force it to stay in the up position all the time which I think I'm going to do.
