Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback about my car's steering problems. The steering rack was bad. They replaced it and the car now handles 10x better. So, I spent the last two months thinking that the IS350 had the worst freeway handling of any car I had ever driven. Oh well. It handles (almost) great now!
Anyway, I wouldn't have known that it wasn't normal if you hadn't given me such good feedback. Thanks!

They refer to the low dust brake pads as a service bulletin not a silent recall. Recalls or "Campaigns" as Toyota/Lexus call it must be announced publicly as they are safety related repairs required.

Apparently, there was a similar recall on the steering rack for previous model years of the IS.
BTW - Although the steering problem is now fixed, now I can hear and feel some clanking noises when driving at slow speeds over very rough roads. Great.
