Default Factory recall. True or Not True?

I stumbled on the website about recall. http://www.internetautoguide.com/aut...349/index.html

I went to the dealer to confirm. They told there's no recall. Does anyone know there's recall on 2003 model?

Thats like the GM on star system. The recall is only for GX with Lexus Link.

I don't have Lexus Link. Mine is 2003 GX470. The very first year they came introduced GX. What is it got to do with Lexus Link?

As far as recall post on the website above, my GX seems to have problem with 2nd row seat got stuck. Other problem I am having with now is the leaking power transfer case (black box underneath the car)

Lol, you need to read your own post

"ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE LEXUS LINK SYSTEM, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO LOCK ONE OF THE TWO LATCHES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MIDDLE ROW LEFT REAR SEAT (LARGER SIDE OF THE BENCH SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER). DUE TO THE THICKNESS OF THE LEXUS LINK SYSTEM STORAGE CASE, THE STOPPER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT IS SLIGHTLY ELEVATED. THIS ELEVATED POSITION MISALIGNS THE LATCH TO THE STRIKER"

If you dont have Lexus link, your problem is cause by something else.

I have to do more research on this. You totally lost me on the "Lexus Link" thing. Any picture?
