Does the TSB only apply to USA? How about us Canadian IS250s?

I called Lexus of Germany the other day and they said that they could not get the new pads for me because they are not approved for speeds of 130 mph +

Lexus Canada has the TSB as well. I had my first oil change today and decided to mention the brake dust to my service adviser who suggested that they could do the brake pad TSB for me without my having to bring it up! Good service at Lexus I must say.

That statement made me want to move to Germany.

Try Endless pads; Endless does make pads for O/E caliers.. That is your best bet before going BBK.

I called up Richmond Hill Lexus today and they said that I can get the TSB done on my IS250. Woo-hoo!!! No more brake dust and that squeaking brake sound. Inaddition, I'm getting a loaner vehicle for the day.

The dust means it stops better doesn't it?

Should I wait until 5000 mile oil change or..?
