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.

 

Thanks for the info. What model yr does this effect?

 

My dealer said the IS-F wasn't part of the recall

 

I never got a letter saying we did?

 

I didn't get a letter either.

I got a letter, in canada, it didnt say much

 

i did not know the IS-F was part of it either?

 

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

 

I called local lexus dealer and said the isxx is not included.

 

i got a letter few months ago. i want the new mat and gas padel, but not sure about the software upgrade.

 

OP ... is this "recall" you are talking about the brake override system that toyota will install in all their cars?

 

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?

 

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.
