I was in for my 15k mile service yesterday and specifically asked my service adviser about the whole gas pedal fiasco going on right now. As many of you know we IS-F owners as well as the ISX50 owners were sent a letter telling us to remove our floor mats. After speaking to him, the floor mats are not the problem, it is actually the gas pedal. The ES gas pedal fix is already being implemented, and he told me that since the IS-F has an aluminum single peice gas pedal, it would take a little longer for the fix to come out. What they actually will be doing is create an extended gas pedal, which will get rid of the whole "floor mat causing the gas pedal to stick" issue. So just thought I'd give the community the heads up. When the fix is out, they will again be sending out letters to notify us.
ive got a e-mail from the dealer.. but it was only regarding to is x50..
later on my friend check on it soon all ISF will be recalled for similar reason.
i just know that much... not much into detail..
I looked at my pedals. IMO Unless you place an all weather mat on top of your regular mat, there should be no issue. I am not letting anyone touch my perfectly good pedals. We have been bonding awhile now
How does it not make sense? Let me clarify. The Lexus service advisor said the pedal is physically too short , so they will redesign it. That is all I know for now. So if you already took out the "mat" you don't necessarily have to take part in the recall. The gas pedal being currently too short has a tendency to get "caught" in the mat. Hope that makes a little more sense.
As far as I know the gas pedal override update is just a security measure in case the gas pedal goes "crazy" again, after the fix. Does anyone else have any more info on the override update?
The OP's post doesn't even make any sense. The brake pedal is the problem so they are going to extend the gas pedal. LOL. Just drive the F and forget all this recall crap on Toyotas made in the USA. The F is a Lexus made in Japan.
Now I see what you were saying. I fixed the post and sorry for the confusion. The problem lies solely between the "gas" pedal and floor mat.
