Default Recall on Passenger side Airbag?

Well, I got a phone call from Lexus Recall Department and I'm dropping off my F tomorrow for Air-bag recall, hopefully they'll give me a GS-F as a loaner.

Anyone had their done?

Haven't gotten a call yet. Where abouts are you located? I'm on the west coast in Canada. I believe they were conducting the recall by zones; hot and humid being priorities.

I got the notice via snail mail in May & I'm in the cool/dry zone. Had it done 2 weeks ago, loaner was an rx350.

I just had mine done. Was holding off for some time on other recalls as well. Dropped it off at 8:00 AM Tuesday and was ready for pick up on 10:30 AM Thursday. Instructed them not to clean vehicle. I have a Thinkware F770 Dash Cam (dual cam with parking mode/battery) and no strange activity captured. Only 1 mile logged on odometer. Full tank upon pickup. Only noticed that one of the hood bump stops (passenger side) was missing. Picked up replacement bump stop same day no charge.
  1. Takata Front Passenger Airbag Inflator
  2. Gas Pedal
  3. Accelerator Flash
  4. Engine Cooling Fans
  5. All weather floor mats (replaced). My original all weather floor mats were of much better quality in my opinion. (also had the IS F designation on them) Held off (recalled in 10/5/09) because of this but since its been some time, and they have worn out in the heel area, I figured why not get a replacement.

I know, was weird to hear them say it.

They gave me the ES350, not a bad turd, felt so weird driving stiff ISF and hopping in the ES350, it almost makes you fall asleep when you drive it.

I have an extended warranty on mine and recently front passenger proximity sensor went bad, so they're fixing that as well and as far as I know, I only had the airbag for the recall to fix.

Dropped mine off on Saturday, I just got a call from the Dealer saying it was done, but they need to wait for the proximity sensor as it looks like it went bad, while they were at it, I told them to check the dome lights as none of them turn on.

They did more work, apparently changed the Radiator Fan Motor and Screws, fixed my noisy proximity sensor, glad it was covered under warranty, that thing costs an arm and a leg.
