What? I never heard of that before. Is it common and expensive?

What years were affected by this? I have a 2015 350

2010- 2011 or 2012 with the tow package had the rubber hoses. There are a few threads about it. Lexus provided an extended warranty to cover replacement if they fail. Do not think that includes a new engine when all your oil squirts out on the interstate and your engine seizes right when your low oil pressure light comes on at 60 MPH.
