Default Recall?

I came across while searching for the ODB2 on INNOVA website and it pop-up the recall for this model. Have anyone noticed of the recall for our 2gs4'98? I am not sure whether this is true or not. Also, have anyone talk to the dealer for replacing the part? Pls, let me know if you're all know something. Thanks.

Call your local dealer and give them your VIN. They can tell you if it was done on your car or not.

U could always visit lexus.com and go to "owners" and type in your VIN to see if it was replaced by previous owner..
