i dont know the details exactly. but my friend who works at lexus told me he has been busy replacing piston seals on is250's under warranty. so who ever has a is250 with weird noises coming from the engine might want to check out what they can get done under this "recall"

 

Thanks for the heads up! I was wondering what that noise was coming from under the hood. Hopefully it's the "recall" you're talking about

 

is this for all IS250's, up to 2011 or a certain year?

 

I didnt get any recall letters =.=

 

OP: Please provide more information...thanks

 

another one....

 

Unless things have changed there's no recall here. (and recalls would be free regardless of warranty anyway).

There IS a TSIB (which does require warranty) for the carbon build up issue however that involves engine work, which might be the message from your friend distorted a bit by the telephone game.

 

Define "piston seal"? Lol!

 

u couldve found out by typing those exact words into google

 

This might be the TSIB for carbon build up

 

I couldn't tell you the last time someone referred to piston rings as piston seals. Lol!

 

It's a tsb not a recall and he is talking about the is250 carbon build up

 

In the US I"ve only heard "side seals" on rotories... only "rings" on pistons

 

I believe this recall is for is250..

 

Finally... I thought i was the only one! they replaced mine about a month ago

And i have a 2006 is250
