TSB - RECALL on Brakes
Just an FYI
I took delivery on an obsidian is350 F Sport Awd a few weeks back. I now have approx 825 miles on the car and I started to notice a loud whine when turning. After a trip to the dealership, the "issue" was diagnosed as brake dust / heavy buildup. With that said, I was told a TSB was released and a new pad...with a new design will be installed on the car as warranty work. Just looki to pass on the good word to those F sport drivers. My pads have been ordered and will be in and installed writhing the week.

For what's its worth, they cleaned my brakes. Put anit-squeal compound on too. I was ten miles down the road and my car made the whine again. My parts are ordered, I'm just waiting. They said Thursday or Friday at the latest.

hmm, so it appears the whine/squeal would be the symptom then. I don't have any brake issues on my 250 AWD F-Sport. The 350 F-Sport does have different/bigger brakes which could mean the TSB/recall may only apply to this model.
Wonder if any other 250 or 350 owners can share their experiences on this topic.

Did you ask them if there was any drawbacks to the new brakes? I know on the 2IS when they issued the TSIB you could choose between the better performance/greater dust or lower performance/higher noise/low dust pads... I hated the screeching the low dust pads made when backing up...

Have you noticed excessive break dust on your rims?
After they applied the anti-squeal grease, has the noise stopped?
Answers to the following would be great too!

As for the moderator. This is a forum. You are not the end all be all, nor do you possess the experiences of others. I'd suggest refraining from speaking to situations that you don't know about.

Also, RTSI250 is a known Lexus Certified Tech.. If there was an LSB issued on TIS for the 2014 IS, he would know about it well before we would ..
Just saying..
