good one… where in cali?

 

just got a call from the dealer to get this done. Gonna wait a month or two.

maybe this is why my mpg sucks at 17.7 city

 

Wow. I thought it was just the car. I just bought my 08 GS in December and I would only get around 17 mpg average. I got the recall fixed a few weeks ago and my mog defiantly improved. Previously I was filling up weekly but now today is Saturday the 21st and I last filled up Monday the 9th and still have a quarter tank left. I now average around 22.8 mpg without any change in my driving pattern. Needless to say, I'm happy. My work was done at metro lexus in cleveland ohio.

 

does anyone have the recall bulletin details? I'm wondering how complicated the recall fix is.

is it invasive surgery?

 

Magnussen's Lexus of Fremont.

Gas tank was filled up and car was washed.

 

i wonder if the MPG actually improves with the recall done…?

 

no, unless you had a leak already, and then it would go back to whatever mpg you got on day 1

 

I had recall fuel pressure sensor fixed a week ago Monday, now I car is running rough and delayed start after not starting. Has anyone else had the recall work complete Do?

 

So online it reads the remedy as

Remedy

Just did it two weeks ago, everything running normal

 

I've had mine fixed about a month ago and mine run fine. It actually seems like I'm getting better mpg.

 

My 2010 GS350 recall was corrected on 4/3/2015.

 

The recall has disappeared from the Lexus Canada site for me, still haven't received anything further than the initial mailing notifying about the problem. Not sure what's going on. I had them look for fuel leaks while my car was in for service to correct an oil leak due to a bad seal on the oil pan as a result of the piston rings job and they said they found none so I guess it is no big deal just wondering what is taking so long up here as I want my free wash and gas. =)

 

Got my letter in the mail but the dealer can't see me until May 2nd due to backorder of parts.

 

Given the high # of recalls my 2006 GS300 has been subject to I have a reminder to visit the Toyota/Lexus recall site every year just to check if any new recalls have been issued. About 4 weeks ago I discoved this recall when I input my VIN into the system. I had not received a call or email or letter about this recall.

The strange thing was that 15 minutes after I discovered the recall on my own, my dealer called me to "notify me of the recall". Either this is the strangest coincidence of all time or Lexus is doing "silent recalls" waiting for customers to discover the recall before acting on it.

Behavior I'd expect from Kia not Lexus.

Recall was done and the car is fine (well, if a car with a bad exhaust/y-pipe can be fine) - no meaningful change in mpg.
