can any one upload the original messege from Toyota for me ? 
I have IS350 that I brought from USA one year ago and the dealer in my country doesn't even sells the IS with 350 engine nor 250 , he only sells IS300 .
I don't know what to do , I guess I can make a claim to Toyota though because the rattiling is happening pretty often in my engine.
thanks a lot

I spoke to lexus they claim they do recall work outside of the country for US vehicles. What they do is you pay lexus in your local country and lexus will reimburse the bill. I would call before doing anything

Hi,
I am in Saudi Arabia
I went to the dealer today and asked them about that, they claimed that they didn't receive any information from Toyota about the recall !
And by the way we only have one dealer in my whole country and he makes enormous sales of Toyota cars compared to other countries.
So do you suggest me to make a claim to Toyota or just wait for maybe forever ?
regards

It would be sweet and that's what I'm hoping for but I'm assuming since Lexus already is doing a recall on the engine/vvt they are now responsible for "premature engine failure" and that opens them up to a significant amount of claims or a class action suit. They also are just doing the IS350 and GS. If they were including IS250 I could see the amount increasing significantly but there are only 196k vehicles affected. Out of those, how many are still on the road and haven't been totaled or anything?

For the is350's, do some of you guys get this weird crank sound when your car is starting up but then after that it goes away? Sometimes the sound replicates and sometimes it doesnt.. I am wondering if this is the issue for the recall that was announce a couple weeks ago?

I had called the dealership service centre before and for some reason, they want me to replicate this sound I am telling them, but how can I when it occurs sometimes lol. They want me to leave the car overnight and it's getting frustrating dealing with them.

Guys.... Just save yourself the frusrtation and wait until the dealerships aree actually doing the fixes for this recall and then go in and see how fast they will fix it for you. Remember they still get paid by Lex corp to do the recall work. Right now they just have not received the parts or training so what do you expect them to do???. Rolling out a mass fix to over 100,000 vechicles takes a while.

Safety Recall DLA - Remedy Notice - 2006 Through Early 2012 Model Year IS 250 and IS 350, 2010 Through Early 2012 Model Year IS250C and IS 350C, and 2008 Through 2011 Model Year IS-F Front Wiper Arm Nut
This is an important Safety Recall. Please contact your authorized Lexus dealer and schedule an appointment to have this remedy performed as soon as possible.
What is the Condition?Each wiper arm is installed onto a pivot shaft which is linked to the wiper motor mechanism by an installation nut (wiper arm nut). The wiper arm nut may not have been tightened sufficiently due to high friction between the nut and the wiper arm. Under certain usage conditions, such as a buildup of heavy snow on the windshield, one or both of the wipers could become inoperative. Inoperative wiper arms could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
