glad to hear you got your seatbelt fixed. i haven't had a problem with mine yet, but that is a scary thought for the seatbelts to not work.

don't even get me started on sushi. not only do i LOVE spicy tuna, i love sake (salmon), spicy salmon, hamachi, shiromi, hirame, unagi, and maguro. not too big on uni or ikura so i'm not hardcore.

edit: how could i forget amaebi. i love amaebi.

I've phoned my dealership and they don't have the recall yet so won't have parts yet. They said as soon as they hear about it they will call. Funny, the accel pedal getting stuck on the rubber is also happening to me. I thought it was my shoes getting caught!!!!

Guess I'll be getting that done too. Thanks for the heads up guys!

Does this mean another nano???

I highly doubt that they will give out 57,000 nanos.... though that would be nice

1gb engraved nanos at cost...that's pretty cheap for them, it's a drop in the [Lexus] bucket.

I just checked in an IS250 yesterday for a customer who had the 6LB SSC, the SRS Airbag replacement. First case here for that campaign.

I haven't seen anything for the seatbelt campaign yet. We did replace a driver side seat belt on a black 2006 GS300 a few months back. Isolated case then.

I just caught this on Foxnews and was about to post a thread about it. Good thing it was posted already!

I just called my service consult and she said she'll address the problem when I get my 5k check-up and oil change, which is scheduled for the 20th. She said that she'll know how to fix the problem by then.

Did anyone else get this....

Not to be an Azz( I'm also a service consultant ), but bring your car empty...Lexus will fill your tank up, just for the inconveinence.

That's a lot of recalls.

Goes to show even the almighty lexus has their faults.

looknow12

The articles don't say which model it is, but I'd swear it's the IS and GS. My GS430 used to be difficult to extend out to connect the belt, and my buddy's IS350 was locked and he couldn't put his seat belt on for an hour.

Has anyone heard about a recall on seat belts?
This is the one thing I dislike about our SC430
That dumb snap on the seat that is to hold the belt
in place so you can find the end of it and it always
comes unsnapped so you cant find the end when
you buckle-up.
