February 2006

Toyota announced a "voluntary special service campaign" that involves approximately 3,900 early 2004 model year Lexus RX330 vehicles in the U.S.

In these vehicles, there is a possibility that the anchor bolt for the rear, left-side passenger seatbelt buckle (directly behind the driver's seat) does not have sufficient strength. Lexus has received one report of this condition.

Lexus said in a news release that it will mail owners of the involved vehicles a special service campaign notification via first class mail beginning in late January or early February, 2006. Lexus dealers will replace the anchor bolt at no charge to the vehicle owners. Owners are requested to contact their local Lexus dealer for diagnosis and repair upon receiving their notification.

Customers with questions or concerns should contact the Lexus Customer Satisfaction Center at 1-800-255-3987.

Toyota doesn't have recalls. They have Voluntary Special Service Campaigns. Almost makes you feel special if you happen to get one of the "special" vehicles that needs the service. Any problems Toyota has only makes them stronger. :AH-HA_wink:

It's a good chance for them to find other things wrong to fix =) Btw, hasn't your fuel pump been making a whining noise lately? Maybe we should look at that too while we're under the seats... bwa ha ha.

Recalls at Toyota are such good news, if only the word were bigger!!
