Default 2006 GS430 Rattles, Squeaks...Out of Warranty

Just purchased an 06 GS430 with 72k miles about a month ago, car have some interior rattles & squeaks..I know there were TSBs for Rattles, Would dealership honor those TSBs if car is out of warranty?

Help will be much appreciated!

Best answer to your question is call your local dealership(s) and see what their response is.
Alternatively, call Lexus corporate and see what they say.
If you're car has always been serviced by a Lexus or Toyota dealer, then they'd look favourably on that.
No-one here though, is able to speak for Lexus or their dealerships in your area, so the question is a bit pointless really.

TSB's are not covered by the dealer if you are out of warranty. Recalls are however covered by dealers (warranty or not).

there is a master thread for fixing the squeaks/rattles if its coming from the dash. most people merely push a piece of felt down between the dash and windshield.

My car is still under warranty. So I can't really speak about what is covered and what is not. I have found that the dealerships (both have the same owners) here in the Raleigh/Durham area are good at addressing issues when you bring them up to them. I have mentioned squeaks and rattles in the past, and they have taken care of them at no cost. Again, my cars are still under warranty. So it may be different for vehicles not under warranty. But as Baron said, it doesn't hurt to ask.
