I hit the fuel pipe jackpot, I have two fuel pipe recalls, both 7LC and 9LA.

Pulled up my car on owners.lexus.com, and it shows 2 items:
Service Campaign: REAR BRAKE CALIPER INSPECTION (9LB)
Safety recall: REPLACEMENT OF FUEL DELIVERY PIPES (FUEL RAILS) (9LA)
This is consistent with what the dealer told me verbally. I'll confirm everything done on my invoice when I pick the car up today (hopefully).
Pray... for... mojo...

I have brought my car in for service a couple of times there, so Im very confident ur "baby" will be taken care of. On the other hand I will be very afraid if it's with pohanka which I've been to once and never came back- their service is loudsy to be honest with u, at some point while I was waiting for my car, I thought I was at a Honda dealership or something.
Btw, keep us posted after u pick it up tonight.

Success!
Picked up my car this morning, everything looks good... 
1) They did the Fuel Pipe recall and rear disc boot recall. No Charge.
2) They replaced my brake pads for the less dusty pads. No Charge.
3) Brakes were getting squeeky so they used a shim kit and anti-noise kit. No Charge.
4) They replaced both my front tires under the extra wheel/tire warranty I purchased. $60 charge for labor.
5) Full tank of gas, wash and vacuum. No Charge.
All in all, not bad!
My only complaint:
1) When I received the car, the "Low Tire" warning was on. They failed to initialize the TPMS after putting the new tires on. I checked all the tires, pressure was proper at 35/37 (f/r) so I initialized the TPMS via the dashboard, "rebooted" the car, and the warning went away. (Really, is it that hard to notice the big warning light and not reset the system for me?)
As a side note, I put on new REAR tires as well, for the first time. I'm at 31,000+ miles, so I now have 4 new tires on the car. Went OEM, 18" Dunlop Sport Maxx A (225 on the front, 255 in the back)
Hopefully this will be my last trip to the dealership before my lease is up at the end of the year. The car is in mint condition, and the dealership commented on how it still looks and smells like new on the inside. Haven't decided if I'm going to buy it out yet, the residual is $25,500. Time will tell...
I think I'll detail the car this weekend if the weather is nice... It's about time for my yearly Dawn/Clay/Polish/Wax routine...
