Default Is-F recall?

Is there a website that you can look up a car by VIN# or model to see if it has any recalls?
Thanks in advance!

There are none. There is a TSIB, but no recalls.

^^^^A TSB is a Technical Service Bulletin, so as a guess, Technical Service Information Bulletin

What does this TSIB cover

Technical Service Information Bulletin. It addresses an issue Lexus has found on a series of vehicles resulting in a redesigned part or a standard procedure to resolve the issue. They are not recalls, and they are only intended to address issues found to be problematic over a range of VINs. It is possible to have a vehicle in the "affect" VIN range but not experience the problem. I do not recommend showing up at the dealer for a TSIB issue unless you actually experience the problem described in the TSIB.

The one TSIB for the F is related to the drive belt tensioner making noise. If your car is not making noise, there is no need to have the TSIB performed. If it is making noise, there is a TSIB to address the issue.

Lexus.com go to the My Lexus area..sign up. You can then input your VIN and learn of any recalls and all service performed at Lexus dealers.
