Default tank average after completing recall....

Hello all!! Long time follower but new to posting. I've gotten great information from all the members. Thanks!!

Well, I just got my car back from the dealer, and noticed that my approximate tank average went down from 380+ after a fill up to just over 330. Has anyone else noticed this?

I will be taking it back to the dealership to see whats up. I'll keep everyone informed as to what is going on.

Thanks in advance y'all!

I'm pretty sure the dealership disconnects the power when they do this kind of work so that'll reset the ecu. Give it a few weeks with your regular driving habits and see if your mileage goes back to normal.

When I deliberately reset my ecu last year, my mileage went from 500+km down to 400+km due to my driving habits. Since then I can't get it back to 500km. I might have to reset it again and drive like a granny.

No change noticed.

The tank range you noticed can be attributed to many things other than the recall fix.

Is the recall for everyone? I have a 2008 IS350 and I don't know if I have the recall.

I noticed the change. I have had my car back for 2 weeks now... i get worst mileage then before the change, also the injectors seem to make a louder noise not much louder.
