haha i didn't get a letter but i did call lexus yesterday about the Carbon build up and they actually schedule me an appointment sometime this month. If my car has this issue they said they would cover it under CSP.

Even if you do have the dealership perform the "fix" all their doing is bandaging it up. Every single 2006 gs300 is going to have this problem and when it's fixed you'd be lucky to get another 70k out of the car, Those are words straight out of the service managers mouth. My car was 3 weeks out of the 9 years and corporate lexus told me they wouldn't do a single thing for me on my gs with 80k on it. There isn't an actual fix for the problem, the service manager told me he wouldn't perform the "fix" if I were paying out of pocket because it's only a temporary bandage. Bottom line, lexus sells garbage and doesn't back their product.

I had the same thing. My IS only has 91400 miles on it and they wouldn't fix it due to it being 5 months over the CSP. I have only had the car for a year and bought it specifically due to Lexus's reputation of long lasting engines. They have ruined that rep as far as I am concerned. I am surprised this is only a CSP and not a full safety recall. I was trying to accelerate on the interstate to change lanes when my misfire happened, which almost caused an accident.
