I just picked up my IS F350 last week. I called Lexus after they checked my vin# . They said mine is not being recall for Cam gear. But did the recall serviced back in May for front wiper arm nut and internal trunk release lever(handle).
Isn"t all 2011 IS350 recall for gear cam ?
I' m confuse

So my baby is at the dealership getting the business. Got a 2012 IS250 loaner with the god-awful biege interior (sorry guys/gals, partial to black leather and trim). Will report back on anything they did or didn't do right. They said they'll call me later today when completed.

Got my car back yesterday evening. They informed me that my water pump was leaking which I had a feeling that it was. They also broke the seat adjustment **** off on the driver seat. They fixed it on the spot when I inspected the car and discovered it. Other than that, car feels normal and so far no cam gear rattle.

This is my first time using Lexus Portland (previsouly was in a FX35 and used Beaverton Infiniti).

Got mine done when bringing the car in for oil change. And a loaner car for 2 days. I did get a full tank of gas though. Too bad, I had more than half tank full when bringing it in. If I knew earlier that they had the parts in, I would bring the car in with almost empty.

My guess is that the camera have loose connection. Oh well, I could never re-produce the sympton to show dealer. Video was captured on iphone but they could not find anything wrong with it.

Got my car back this evening. Quickly walked around the car and all seems to be well with the body. Checked under the hood and immediately notice the battery terminal covers still undone AND the engine cover itself with greasy finger prints all over it. Oh well, nothing a simple cleaning won't fix; off I go heading home. After my stint on the HWY, I stopped at the first stoplight and started to see smoke pouring out from between the fender/hood AND smelled burning oil/sealant. Sloppy uninstalling of the valve covers I guess dropped oil all over the place on both sides of the engine bay down onto various connectors/wire looms, and the steering boots. Meh, the wife calls me picky...but should someone really have to deal with SMOKE coming from their engine bay? Grrrrr!
Mechanically, the car is fine; surprisingly, even the initial startup sounds differently due to the new gears. I will definitely create a new thread if the "cam rattle" comes back.

@1stGenIS I'm taking it to get some recall work done tomorrow and my car still has a warranty maybe they'll be able to do something for me. If not I might take you up on the offer; I'm just not fully sure if it's the camera or something else right now.
