just got mine back today from the recall. i dropped it off on Saturday at Kuni Lexus in greenwood village, they provided me a loaner car and kept it all weekend. did my oil change too while they had it. the loaner was a 2019 NX300, that sure was fun to drive around for a weekend. a lot peppier than the GX.
it is only the passenger airbag on the recall, i had read on other forums they were removing the whole dash to replace it. Lexus only unbolted the dash, lifted it up, then removed airbag through the glovebox some how. i was worried since i wired up some extra USB plugs in the glovebox but it didnt seem to present a problem. i haven't noticed any weird noises or rattling from the replacement so far.

i was suspicious they removed the center console area too, my gear shifter felt off and my wireless charging station was moved. i also have some hidden wires under there for rear USB charging, glad all of that was non issue for them

Full center console here too when they did mine last week.
I confirmed when I noticed the wood trim on the gearshift was facing forward....
I will say - They did a clean job and no rattles or annoyances so far!

Recall notices have moved to Canada. I did mine yesterday. No complaints about the service. They were quick and clean. Had a 2019 RX to drive, pretty underwhelming. It has the same features as my GX in a bit nicer packaging. I was expecting more...

Just recently got mine done, the leather trim on drive side center console was a bit off, which I've pushed through and it got into place. Besides this, didn't notice any other issues. Got a full tank of gas as a courtesy.

Not sure why dealer had to remove the top dash panels for this recall. Most I have known the recall involve of removing glove box and center console where Nav/Radio/AC control units (and associated panels at the shift area). As for the battery replacement, there seems a procedure that technician should have followed to retain all the memories, there is a waiting period after ignition off to save the memory before disconnecting the battery.

for 2014 GX460.
Received recall letter 3/18/2019, called Lexus dealer 3/19, and replaced the passenger side airbag 3/22. Noticed that dealer filled up the gas tank in addition to car wash.

Yes, they’re not even after they put them back. It kind of irritated when it’s in Front of my eyes all the time. Dealer is just 15’ away from me.
