Default RX Recall

Hello all.

I have a 2006 RX330 and I can't seem to find a list of all the Toyota/Lexus Recalls for this particular car after doing a few searches in this forum.

I did the same thing for my 2006 GS300 and found full PDF files of all the recalls saying if your VIN# is between blank and blank then it qualifies, etc...

If anyone could send me a list or point me to the right direction to find a list of all the recalls for the 2006 RX330 I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

you are better off calling the dealer and give them your vin and have them run it.

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/recallsearch.cfm

This will tell you what recalls have been issued on your vehicle, but Lexus (I mean corporate, not the dealership, though I suppose the dealership would probably be able to tell) will be able to tell you if they have been performed on the vehicle by the previous owner)

You can also search for TSBs at the nhtsa site as well, but it's just a summary of the TSB, not the actual TSB with instructions.

Sign up on Lexus Owners at the Lexus.com. It will list recalls which affect your VIN.

Sorry for the late response, I've been a little busy lately.
I'll check those things out, hopefully there isn't any issues with the RX.
Thanks again for all your help.

Well, got into my account with Lexus Owners and it is official, my RX is part of the recall.

This is what showed up (prior to this, it was a generic statement about the recall:

Safety Recall ALG - Certain 2006 Model Year Lexus IS and GS Vehicles & Certain 2004 through 2006 Model Year RX Vehicles Brake Master Cylinder Cup Replacement
This is an important Safety Recall. Please contact your authorized Lexus dealer and schedule an appointment to have this remedy performed as soon as possible.

What is the condition? During vehicle assembly, Lexus uses brake fluids containing polymers that act as lubricants for certain brake system components. If replacement brake fluid is used that does not contain a sufficient quantity of polymers, a rubber seal located at the rear of the brake master cylinder may become dry and curl during movement of the piston. If this occurs, a small amount of the brake fluid could slowly leak from the seal into the brake booster, resulting in illumination of the brake warning lamp. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, the brake pedal feel could change, and braking performance could eventually begin to gradually degrade. If the warnings provided by the lamp illumination and the change in pedal feel are not heeded, a vehicle crash could occur.
