The fuel delivery pipe is basically the fuel rail, and the dampers are inside it?

Also I have the passenger side bank ticking sound louder than the driver side bank,, wondering if that is a pulsing sound or mechanical.

Hummm I did noticed a gas smell inside my 06 IS-350 but I had just pumped gas a few mins before that so I was ok with the little odor as I thought it was the stop at the gas station. I received the recall letter yesterday (I'm in PA. USA). Will call the dealer now!

The recall has been released in Canada as well.

I just got the recall letter too. Wonder how longer the repair will take.

Approximately 1.5-2 hours, but you may need to leave your car longer depending on the booking schedule of the dealer.

Unfortunately the engine in my car didn't come with the car so I'm going to have to take care of it myself. Might document it for anyone interested in what it entails. It's honestly not terrible.

Did they tell you how long? They told me only a week for parts to come in. I called last Thursday and got the call on Tuesday telling me the parts arrived already. Scheduled an appointment for next Tuesday to have it done.

I got the notice in the mail earlier this week. I dread taking the car to the dealership for service even if it's free.
