INTERMITTENT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FOR MONTHS. STAYED ON AND BROUGHT TO DEALER ON JULY 16, 2014. CITED LEXUS SERVICE BULLETIN# 282827 DATED 1/13/2010 AND NHTSA ACTION# 100335557. REPAIR COMPLETED 9/2/2014. LEXUS REFUSED TO COVER FULL COST TO REPAIR, ONLY PAID FOR THE PARTS. I HAD TO PAY LABOR CHARGE OF $1,453.50. I PURCHASED THIS 2007 LS460 BRAND NEW ON 10/02/2007. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN SINCE IT INVOLVES AIRBAGS. WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT GOES ON, THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED AND THE VEHICLE SAFETY IS COMPROMISED. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS EXTENDED FOR THIS TSB TO 7 YEARS/70,000 MILES FROM THE IN-SERVICE DATE. *TR

TOYOTA IS RECALLING 214,570 MY 2006-2008 LEXUS IS, MY 2006-2007 GS AND MY 2007-2008 LS PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ALUMINUM FUEL DELIVERY PIPES (FUEL RAILS). ETHANOL FUELS WITH A LOW MOISTURE CONTENT WILL CORRODE THE INTERNAL SURFACE OF THE FUEL RAILS. AS THIS CONDITION PROGRESSES, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: OVER TIME, THE CORROSION MAY CREATE A PINHOLE RESULTING IN FUEL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FUEL DELIVERY PIPES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING FEBRUARY 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA/LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.
