Default Fuel Leak recall

I have an appointment at the dealership on Thursday to get a quote on some new rotors and pads.... as I booked it, I was informed of a fuel leak recall which must be resolved during my appointment.

Anyone know anything about this? I have a 2009 IS250 AWD.

I thought you would have lol ur pretty active on here. I had mine done about a month ago. Didn't have any issues prior and didn't notice anything different after. I got the notice laying around let me take another look at it.

From the notice:
In subject vehicles, the sealing property of the gasket seated between the pressure sensor and the fuel delivery pipe could become degraded. During vehicle operation, fuel could leak past the gasket. In the presence of an ignition source, this could increase the risk of a vehicle fire.

For those who previously paid for this work there is an address available for "reimbursement consideration". My guess is they'll want it done from Lexus to stand by that reimbursement.
