Nothing is wrong with the OEM all weather mats - I've been using them since I bought RX back in 04. The recall is about making sure the hooks are properly latch onto the holes of the mats. I also got the recall noticed but have not bother to bring it it because such a simple thing you can do it yourself. As for the mats from Ebay, I still like the OEM all weather mats better.

I don't like them because they won't hold any water from snow or rain.Also if it's the same plastic as HD sells,those mats will yellow.
Call Weathertech.com and make sure the mat is a custom fit.
I ordered a classic set(not a fan of the floorliner look) for my ES because the OEM al weathers are't available and the fit is ok in front and terrible in back.I called and was told the ES mats are a universal fit but the custom fit is being made and they'll send them to me.I've ordered many sets from them over the years and they have great customer service..

I love my set. I had to put in a pad sticker to stop the wear on the heel area. Worked good!

I just put a set of the OEM all-weather mats in my 2008 RX350. I absolutely love them! They're great for the slushy winters we have here in Minnesota. THey hold so much water, snow, salt and dirt. The carpet stays looking new. I got mine off of Ebay for about $80.

The recall actually does affect the availability of the all-weather floormats because apparently Lexus has put a stop-sale on them. I guess there's pending litigation against them stemming from the accident that provoked the recall, so Lexus is refusing to sell them until everything is resolved. At least that's what I was told by the dealership when I inquired about them. Every online source for Lexus parts (including Sewell, Carson, Irontoad, etc) has also pulled the mats from their inventory. I've been trying to find a new set for over a month now and have so far been unsuccessful.

I tried those. they are weathertech custom in that they fit right over the originals but as others have said it's a little like putting down a plastic floor runner. Much prefer actual all weather mats. If the OEM mats aren't for sale, think about all weather alternatives. I did get weathertech all weather mats for our GS. Very happy with them.

I found good quality of what I consider sufficient protection at Autoanything and Matdepot. Semi-transparent, semi-rigid, cut to exact size (you need to input vehicle) and produced by a "Lloyds"-somehting co. I had similar mats on the new RX350, and was looking for something similar for the BMW. I had the heavier 'Weatherguard'-type mats, which I found ugly and over-kill for my needs, and am happy I switched.
In the event you choose to go that route (Lloyds), you should make sure that you make a hole at the appropriate place to secure the mat correctly, i.e. as the original mat is secured. The lighter mats look good and are installed over the original mats.

Good luck!

No, I don't play soccer!
I have the Lloyd rubbertites and they do have a hole in the driver's side mats to secure with the hook - no slipping in the five years I've had them. And they hold up well in the snow and rain. They're not bulky at all. I purchased a set to put in my 450h when I get it.
