Hi Guys, Just checked - still no update on the recall. Here are the details...

My Lexus dealer told me yesterday that they are now working LX's within a certain VIN range. My '18 570 is not yet in the active range, but I would think it will be soon.

Got it - I still didn't get the chance to stop by the dealer. There is currently recall on both of my lexus vehicle (LS & LX) - I just have to find the time to stop by... or may be I can ask them come and pick up the vehicles from my house.

have an appointment for this Saturday ( 2018 Lx) - they said its hr and half repair

mmalik

Only hr&half...that's nothing. However, please keep us posted of the experience. Between my procrastination and this cold and wet weather, I'm not sure if i'll be able to make it to the dealer anytime soon. But let's see - hope sustains life!

Recall work completed today, took about an hr more of less @ Lexus of cherry hill. They said this was the first lx they worked on. I cant tell any difference but feels good that car is up to date.

What year is your LX?

Thanks. I've got a 2017 and a 2013 yet my local dealer says there's no fix available yet. I'm trying to figure out if the fix is going by years or if I'm not a priority because I didn't buy either vehicle from this dealer.

Toyota announced you are in line based on the truck's VIN...NOTHING to do with where the truck was originally delivered.

I contacted the selling dealer today on my 2017. The SA there said that the fix is not currently available for either of my VINs (2017 or 2013). I'm in southern California. We both wondered if the fix is rolling out in the high humidity areas in the east and southeast first with the west coast being viewed as a lower priority.

That's a good sign that it's reached California. What year is your LX?
