Default wacky rear wing

Has anyone had their rear wing go funny? I purchased the Varis long carbon fiber wing in May and had it installed by the dealership. Nothing weird until 3-4 days ago, when the wing does not raise at the 50mph mark. It does raise when you come to a stop though!! Then it lowers back down at about 20mph!! I can manually raise and lower it with the button when stopped. Dealer looked at it, ran a diagnostic, said should be good to go. Wrong!! still not right going back to dealer next week.Has anyone had any thing like this?

Are you on Eco or Normal or Sport or Sport+?

How about 70+mph? It's weird that it goes up only close to stopping then, goes back down.

Maybe they got the wires crossed?

I have tried all modes and above 70mph and nothing. It does seem as if things are *** backwards. That wing was put on in May and I put on 5300 miles with absolutely no problems, now this!?

This is strange indeed.

Whatever the cause..............I would have the Lexus dealer check it out and maybe even insist on the TSB thing for the active wing ECU redo. There was a TSB for the Active Wing thing. Mine was acting up a few months after I bought my RCF and the Lexus dealer (different one than the one I had purchased my RCF from) fixed it no questions asked. I just showed them the PDF document I had downloaded from this forum with the official TSB from Lexus.

Better to do it before the factory warranty is over.

Good luck.
