I don't know. I think it would depend on the good will of the dealership, but, if the dealer does not seem to be cooperative, I would certainly pursue the issue Lexus corporate. Also, I think that you should be able to make the case that the CPO warranty is still in effect.

Not every vehicle that is within the VIN range will have the issue. Does your parent's ES show a history of battery issues? Have they let it sit for a few days and not been able to start it without a jump? I had the issue and it was very obvious.

So here's my question. My vehicles VIN is lower which means it falls within the range of the TSB... However, I have never experienced any battery issues and I am coming up on the 4 year anniversary of when I bought the car. My 48 month warranty will expire on Jan. 9, 2018. Even though I've never had battery issues should I still take it in or not worry about it. I"m planning on putting in a new battery in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

My VIN is also within the replacement gateway range. However the battery is over 5 years old and I've never had an issue with that or anything else... Just luck of the draw...

You don't have to worry, as you would know by now if you had the issue.

Thanks Mike, I appreciate the quick reply.

For the vehicles being driven every 3 to 5 days it will not be obvious. However those who travel for example or have multiple vehicles, this will be evident upon sitting for two weeks.

I have the tools to measure the current draw while off. I could do this and do the math on the battery output but it would be be best if we had a Fixed or known repaired vehicle and a known bad vehicle to compare to.

In short with the engine off the ideal situation would be a current draw of say 0.0001 Amps or 1 micro amp. But that is likely not the case.

And if any 2IS 3IS owners find this, it applies to our car too.

Not entirely true. Mine was driven almost everyday, since purchase, until about March 2014. It sat 5 days in my garage and wouldn't start. Up until the TSB was applied, if I didn't leave a trickle charger hooked up, it would be hit or miss after 3 days of sitting.
