As far as I see it, a significant proportion of the whining for a TSB for the 250 occurred for 2 reasons. 1) People just wanted free brake pads. 2) If the 350 people can have them, we want ours too.

I bet a bunch of people are privately glad they have brake dust on their wheels. woo hoo! free brake pads! You know who you are.

ok, rant done.
Please don't make general statements for which you have no evidence to support them.

Isn't that what I'm saying? that those pads aren't going to be free because they aren't in the business to make less money?

Anyway, I've made my opinions, you disagree. let's move on.

Just called my dealer and at this time they have no tsb. I told him it was posted in the online forums and he said he's heard of it as several customers have called yesterday & today.
He did state that 250 does have different pads than the 350 but acknowledges the dust problem and fully expects a tsb to be out at a later date

Interesting how quickly the word spread about the TSB.

I believe the 350 and 250 use the same brake pads.

Don't think so. 350's have bigger brake calipers.

They don't. IS350 front brake pads are Lexus part # 04465-30410, and IS250 front brake pads are part # 04465-53020.

I noticed that as well. Trust me, I'm getting my part numbers from the vehicle parts listing, not Lexus-parts.com.

My brake pads were replaced 3 days ago. No dust!!! The part number looks like the old part number but the pads are new and dust is gone (almost).
