I wonder if this applies to Canada too? I had my value spring recall done last year, but received no $500 gift card.

I just bought my 2007 IS350 2 or 3 weeks ago...I assume these gift cards will go to the person registered as the owner when this recall took place? When was that?

I of course don't expect to get the gift card since I didn't own the car when the issues took place, but boy it'd be nice. I really want those sway bars..

Were you told this or is it publicly posted somewhere? Not accusing you of lying, but rarely is anything free, especially $500. I'm just skeptical.

If this is the case, and people who did not buy EXTENDED WARRENTIES are getting them for free, AND getting the $500 GC, CPO and the people who paid for the warranties are assed out?

My car was under no warranty when I bought it (63000 miles), and not CPO so I didn't expect anything. But I just called now and asked and they said yes I should be getting the $500 gift card soon. I asked then will I get the 100k power train warranty, and they said that is a choice, so either that or the gift card. So it seems if you have nothing you can either choose the 100k drive train or the gift card, but it seemed for me atleast I was already default gift card?

Maybe that will clear some things up.

The number is 800-255-3987. I'm confused and wondering if I'm eligible to get this. Got the valve spring recall work done a couple of months back. My car is still under the basic warranty. The only way to get some questions answered is to call and that's what I'm about to do. I don't think it matters where you got your car or under what status it is with warranty. At least that's what it seems like from reading all the posts.

Can someone tell me about what you did to get this? I called and said I didn't qualify for the $500 only the warranty because I didn't have the extended warranty.

very interesting. I bought my car in November and the previous owner had the recall done in October. I'll have to give Lexus a call and see if I'll be getting the cash.

If so, HELLO SWAY BARS


UPDATE
I called and didn't get a very straight answer. The guy I spoke to said that the team that handles this was "in a meeting" and that I would have to call back to speak to one of them for a definitive answer.
