Received a letter from lexus on 11/20/2015 and spoke to lexus of san antonio, tx.,north central park. The letter indicated that the entire dash board had to be replace due to a fault of company's defect effecting the airbags. I have since then received a second letter, as it was stated, on the first letter that a replacement would come in to replace the old defective one. Since then lexus of san antonio has stated, as of this morning, that they are replacing them at 2 a week as parts come in. There are 100 vehicles in front of mine!!! If there IS a time frame for replacements, I don't think mine would be replaced ever. Starting from today, there will be 50 weeks till I get called in. IS there going to be a solution for this replacement? Thanks. [Xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

There has been a problem for years with certain toyota and lexus vehicles dashboards cracking. This IS not only a cosmetic issue but a safety issue (passenger side airbag) as well and even toyota repair manuals say to replace the dash if there are any cracks yet dealers are not addressing the problem and are making owners pay thousands of dollars for a new dash when clearly there's a defect in the materials used to make the dash. This has been an issue for over 5YRS. And toyota / lexus has been well aware of it, yet as of february 2014 there has still been no recall issued? here's the problem w/ lexus gx470 models: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-first-generation/427349-cracked-dashboard.html here's the problem w/ toyota 4runner models: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/maintenance-detailing/59435-cracked-dash.html http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/122935-***cracked-dashboard-action-request***.html there are many others out there too, just google "toyota cracked dash". *tr

The aforementioned bulletins are obsolete, and any printed versions should be discarded. Be sure to review the entire content of this service bulletin before proceeding. This Service Bulletin provides best practice procedures for vehicle pulling complaint, diagnosis, and repair for 2002 ? 2021 model year Lexus vehicles. This information supplements Repair Manual procedures when the symptoms are: ?Vehicle Pulling: The vehicle moves to the right or left when the driver holds the steering wheel while driving straight ahead without exerting steering effort. ?Steering Wheel Off Center: The vehicle travels straight, but the steering wheel is not pointed straight ahead. The vehicle is not pulling. Before repairing a vehicle pulling to one side, it is necessary to clearly identify the cause of the pulling condition. Frequently, pulling to one side is diagnosed as a wheel alignment concern. However, the actual cause may be related to the lateral force generated by the tires, vehicle damage, road crown or worn components. Performing a wheel alignment when tire force is the cause could result in the wheel alignment being set at a value outside of specifications. This could then cause other problems such as uneven tire wear, etc. A customer may notice a pull to the left when in the left lanes of travel and notice a pull to the right or no pull when traveling in the right lanes of travel on the very same section of roadway. This road crown effect is environmental and cannot be corrected with suspension adjustments or any other wheel or tire modification discussed in this bulletin.
