did you get the fuel pressure sensor gasket recall done? maybe you have a bad one? i know all GS300 awds are being recalled for this.

Has anyone actually received notice to come in yet? Still waiting on my letter. I know when the recall first came out (leaked by media) they were still figuring out what to do to fix the issue.

i actually had it done this past weekend. i brought it in for the brake master cylinder cup recall and the guy said they can do the fuel pressure sensor gasket one while it's there. took a little over 4 hours to do them.

i never got a letter for this nor did i even know there was one but would that make the smell by the master cylinder?

i haven't received a letter either since i only read about it a few days before bringing it into the dealership on this forum and on the lexus owner's website.

to be honest, i don't know where the fuel pressure sensor gasket is located so i'm sorry i can't help you there. hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.
