-Recalls?
I've recently read lexus had an recall sent out for the 06-07 400h for the inverter issue which can be pretty expensive to fix outside of warranty. is this true? So far that's the main issue i've heard with consumers and the 400h...I see mixed reviews of mpg's but that's not my concern anymore.
I had a recall issue with my ES and the local lexus dealership provided no help so instead of waiting i fixed it at my indy shop since it wasn't too expensive but wanted to know about this inverter issue and if it goes by vin or in general.
Thanks

From what I see the first recall did a group of cars and now the second recall is picking up the rest. Print out the vin chart from the NHTSA and research whether it is an effected car.
