Yes there is a recall for all the 215/45 ZR17 tires. I just got the letter in the mail about them. It seems that the engineers have found the presence of "Bulges" in the sidewalls. So what Lexus is gonna do is replace AT NO CHARGE ( doesn't that just sound good? ) all 4 tires including the spare for all IS 300's that still have the new car tire warranty in effect. So if you just purchased your car not to long ago, you might want to check it out.
