....and the service guy advised me that a TSB was released on the 08 IS for brake dust about 3 weeks ago. They have the pads in stock and are replacing them now. Last time I checked...there was no TSIB on 08's. Anyone know? This is good info for the 08 guys.

Hmmm I didn't think the '08's had this issue...

Can anyone else vouge for this?

The don't have one last time I check. But I heard some member here saying the dealer just replace it for you. I think I will have mine done when it have 10K if they willing to do it.

JM Lexus in South Florida said yes, there is a TSB for the 08's when I was in 2 weeks ago.

I can have them replaced when I want.

I am going to have mine done at the 15k service because these pads typically get bad at 20k I hear for the "high friction" ones. I am hesitant about the reduction in brake power, but I will try it and if it is bad, i will buy the OEM and replace myself. Some people on CL have felt a differance. Please post your opinion when you get your car back from the TSIB service.

do you know is it for both 250 and 350?

Hi,
I have an 08 and the fronts do show a lot more dust than the back ones. I'm thinking of waiting for the 5k service and get the dealer to do them both at the same time.

Yes, wait for a service interval so you can grab a loaner and also, get more wear and tear out of the OEM pads. That way, you will have more time before you have to shell out your own money for them.

well...just got home. They didnt have the correct pads...so they ordered them. I told them to hold on to them and I would be in for the change soon.

Got mine changed at 3500 cause the brake dust was horrible. I havent noticed any decrease in performance. if you do then its what I call a placebo affect. damn jedi mind tricks i tell ya.

oh i thought they corrected the problem for the 08's i never really thought to look at the difference. but i did think that it had an insane amt of break dust from week to week washes. hmmph

I have noticed a lot of breakdust on our 08 IS350, i'll have to look into getting this done in the future

So, I tried to get the new pads (TSIB) installed on my '08 IS250 in early December. The two local dealerships turned me away. At that time the '08 wasn't included in the TSIB. Can anyone verify that indeed it is now? Where is it documented? My 5k mi service is quickly approaching and I definitely want the low dust pads.

the parts guy said the TSB was released about 3 weeks ago. Sorry...but I didnt get the number.

What model do you have? 250 RWD, 250AWD or 350, and how are your pads holding up to the brake dust now?
