Canadian members: Block Heater Recall.
I got a recall letter from Lexus Canada. I assume many Canadian GX owners received the same.
What I found unusual is they wrote the remedy as removing the existing block heater and issue a refund..!!!
Does this means the vehicle will be left without a block heater?? That won't work in the cold climates we have here..
Did anyone got this recall taken care of yet?

Sounds like on some vehicles they are going to refund what you paid for the block heater and tell you to stop using it.
That sucks.
According to Toyota's block heater recall documents, the automaker doesn't know how certain vehicles will be repaired. But on other vehicles a new engine block heater cannot be installed, so the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.

When we bought our 2021 GX 460 a block heater was not available, I double checked with both the service and parts department and no block heater was available for the 4.6. I found this very strange but the recall does explain the reason.
