Default Anyone else received a recall for their 3GS?

I logged into my auto insurance account and seen that their is a recent recall notice for our 3GS? But the date shows back to last year, anyone have any input on this ? i believe i got this fixed last year or something similar regarding fuel.

HTSA Recall Number: opens new window takes away from VIN lookup section> 14V647 Recall Date: October 15, 2014
Manufacturer Recall Number: ELF
SUMMARY:
In the subject vehicles, the sealing property of the gasket seated in between the pressure sensor and the fuel delivery pipe could become degraded. During vehicle operation, fuel could leak past the gasket.
SAFETY RISK:
In the presence of an ignition source, this could increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
REMEDY:
Any authorized Lexus dealership will repair the fuel pressure sensor sealing surface and replace the gasket at No Charge to you.
RECALL STATUS: Recall INCOMPLETE
MANUFACTURER NOTES:
THIS RECALL DATA LAST REFRESHED: Aug 15, 2015

Yes, most everyone here has received the recall notice and taken their GS to their local stealership for the fix and maybe a free tank of gas.

Just called and confirmed this is a new recall, and have booked my appointment for this to be serviced! You guys should call your local Lexus dealership and see if you are qualified for this recall!

I believe so... I had this similar recall done back in march also. But i dont mind either, free service, free parts, free car wash &vacuum, and a free full tank of gas; im in there haha . Also to add; a 2015 rental for the day or so.

ChiRaq - I believe it might be all 3gs... but dont quote me.. I would call your local dealer ship and ask about this recall and give them your VIN number.

Only if you're not a troublemaker. I'm on the corporate hit list for whining about my carbon buildup, and I did NOT get a free tank of gas for the fuel gasket recall. I did get a very good handwash, with no water spots, so maybe I shouldn't b*tch so much. But what fun would that be.

99% certain it was just the V6 models. I'll be the old 430 V8 has been recalled far less than the V6 models. Such a perfect motor.

Quick question. What areas of the car do they need to gain access to ?....I'm wondering because it'll be impossible for them to go into my trunk, without taking apart my music/air setup lol
