Hey Scotty and everyone,
I got a recall on my 08 gs350 and will make an appointment to take it in to the dealership for replacement here in Brooklyn, NY. I'm thinking I should be ok but I remember you said to watch out for dealerships and their tricks so, is there anything I should watch out for that they may try to trick me despite their stellar reputation?
Stay safe,
Don't let them sell you anything. Ignore their sales tactics and just get the recall work done. Make sure they don't charge you for it and that they don't add any unrequested (billable) services. If they have a stellar reputation they should give you paperwork to sign off on that describes exactly what is to be done and any charges, if any. Be sure to read it over and keep a copy for yourself.
Thank you!
What is the recall for ?
This is it, Description:
The involved vehicles are equipped with a certain 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine. The diaphragm material in the fuel pulsation dampers in this engine may harden over time and crack, causing fuel to leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
Remedy:
Lexus will send an owner notification by first class mail advising owners to make an appointment with their authorized Lexus dealer to have the Fuel Delivery Pipe replaced with a new one at NO CHARGE.
