I called the dealership complaining about the brake dust on the front rims of my 2007 GS 350 and there was a TSB , and they replaced them at no charge. This is in Ontario Canada.

Thanks for this wonderful tip.. I took my GS350 to Lexus of Orlando for maintenance and complained about "Squeaky" breaks and the horrible break dust. They said they would replace them free of charge.

I complained about the squeaking brakes and they replaced the breakpads. Although there is less dust, I think the new pads don't bite as hard as some of you have experienced.

maybe they weren't bedded in correctly?

My dealer in suburban Phila. changes my brakes on an 08 350 AWD, and I think it was because of the earlier TSB.

Had this done about 30k miles ago. I had them changed around 45k and couldn't be happier. No brake dust ever and the feel is almost identical. At first they were a lil more spongier?? i guess. But well worth it. I used to hate that brake dust. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who still has the front pads that create a ton of dust
