Showed up like this, i called dealer and scheduled appointment also asked that they look up this issue so we could preemptive order the parts. It worked. Parts ordered and arriving before my appointment. Should go smooth but will update if not.
So good news and bad news from the service appt. Bad news is I cleared the code not knowing they actually needed it showing to turn in for the fix, even though it saves codes to memory (but I guess not data associated with the code?).
Good news is one of the techs found some kind of Lexus bulletin describing the problem and the fix, so the next appt should be straightforward.
One of them even commented that they've already had 3 of these with the same code already.
I got my car back today 3/18 I dropped it off at my local Lexus dealer on 3/15. Here is my RO they replaced 2 Gaskets under warranty. Overall I am very satisfied with Lexus warranty & loaner process. This was a very quick fix because I was expecting them to keep the car for a while. I also enjoyed the NX loaner they gave me.

I'm wondering how I can request that they do this repair and replace my gaskets, since all they did was re-torque my exhaust and Joe Z (or someone) said the gaskets are a one-time-use. I was going to mention this in my first service and explain what happened in New Mexico (its in my service records) but I'm wondering if I have any legs to stand on since my CEL is not actually on and the problem is "fixed". Thoughts?

If they solved the leak you are good in my opinion..!!
If it ever comes back now you know what to ask for..

Not exactly the LSB / Lexus Service Bulletin you were all looking for…
… but heading in the right direction

Joe Z
Yep, that's what the techs showed me when I dropped mine off. Dropped it off last Tuesday for the second time after I tried dropping it off the Saturday before but was turned away after I cleared my CEL. Haven't heard back yet, guess they didn't preorder the gaskets even though they knew what the problem was.
Got a CEL at 51 miles on the clock this morning. Was on my way to PPF install, but ended up dropping it off at the dealer.
Vehicle alert said it was for two things. (1) a warning of a malfunction with the engine, throttle, or transmission, and (2) the parking brake.
Yep, those are the alerts we get for the exhaust gasket leak. I think the one just means there's a CEL, then the other is the disabling of some systems due to the CEL
Dealer let me know it is the exhaust leak. They said I should have the car back by tomorrow afternoon.
I'm getting PPF on just the front half because I will log a lot of highway miles in Texas, and there are tons of rocks, sand, and dirt on the roads here.
